DHCP Server Menu
The SPEEDLAN 9000 Configurator allows you to define a DHCP server on the Ethernet
interface. A DHCP server is configured with a table of Ethernet addresses, ranges of IP
addresses and maps that are assigned to client network devices asking for the network
settings. The DHCP server uses a "lease" to determine the length of time that a device
or interface can use the assigned IP address.
Servers that utilize DHCP resolve security issues, costly IP addressing services, and
compatibility problems. DHCP is a superset to BOOTP, which reduces the agony of
assigning static IP addresses, and also provides advanced configuration options.
