DHCP Setup

 

 

 

DHCP

If set to Server, your ZyXEL Device can assign IP addresses, an IP default

 

gateway and DNS servers to Windows 95, Windows NT and other systems that

 

support the DHCP client.

 

If set to None, the DHCP server will be disabled.

 

If set to Relay, the ZyXEL Device acts as a surrogate DHCP server and relays

 

DHCP requests and responses between the remote server and the clients.

 

Enter the IP address of the actual, remote DHCP server in the Remote DHCP

 

Server field in this case.
