5.3WAN for DHCP Client Screen

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), based on RFC 2131 and RFC 2132, allows individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. Users can configure the FSG1100HN’s LAN as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the FSG1100HN provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, another DHCP server must be available on that network, or the computer will need to be manually configured.
