Enable DHCP Server | DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) |
| allows individual clients (computers) to obtain TCP/IP configuration at startup |
| from a server. Leave the Enable DHCP Server check box selected unless |
| your ISP instructs you to do otherwise. Clear it to disable the ZyXEL Device |
| acting as a DHCP server. When configured as a server, the ZyXEL Device |
| provides TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If not, DHCP service is disabled |
| and you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computers |
| must be manually configured. When set as a server, fill in the following four |
| fields. |
|
|
IP Pool Starting | This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address |
Address | pool. |
|

Pool Size | This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool. |
