DHCP Server Properties
If the device is configured to act as a DHCP server, pinging capability can be
enabled. The DHCP server pings an IP address in the address pool before
assigning that IP address to a requesting client. If the ping is unanswered, the
DHCP server assumes that the address is not in use and assigns the address to
the client.
To configure the device as a DHCP server:
