Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows hosts on a TCP/IP
network to dynamically obtain basic configuration information, including
an IP address, network gateway address, and domain name server (DNS)
address.
DHCP can be used by the Barricade for dynamic IP address assignment as
a server (by selecting DHCP under LAN Configuration) or as a server
relay (see “Misc Configuration” on page 3-28). When a DHCP client starts,
it broadcasts a DHCP request looking for DHCP servers. The Barricade
can be configured to respond to this packet or to relay the request on to
another DHCP server located anywhere on the other side of the ADSL
connection. If the Barricade is configured to respond to a DHCP client
request, it will return an IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, and
DNS address.
