Depending on the size and complexity of your network, a few
DHCP configurations can be envisaged:
LAN Type DHCP
Mode
Argumentation
Simple No All few members of the small LAN have static IP
addresses, including the STHome.
Medium
sized
Server For small home LANs it might be worthwhile to
configure all of your LAN devices as DHCP clients,
and the STHome as the DHCP server.
In this configuration each time a computer starts, it will
obtain its IP configuration from the STHome.
Advanced Client For advanced networks, the role of DHCP server might
be performed by an IP node other than the STHome
on the local LAN.
Per default the STHome DHCP server is disabled.
