5.8DHCP

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The DHCP Server will automatically assign dynamic IP addresses to the computers on the network. This protocol simplifies network management and allows new wireless devices to receive IP addresses automatically without the need to manually assign new IP addresses.

There are three submenus under the DHCP menu (shown as Figure 5-28):DHCP Settings, DHCP Clients List and Address Reservation. Clicking any of them will enable you to configure the corresponding function. The detailed explanations for each submenu are provided below.
