Do not set this field to Server if there is already a DHCP server on your network.
2.Client IP Pool Starting Address - DHCP can assign IP addresses to hosts dynamically instead of requiring that each system have a fixed IP address. IP addresses are allocated from a block of addresses, usually assigned by your Internet provider.
