LABEL DESCRIPTION
Enable DHCP Server Enable or Disable DHCP for LAN.
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 NBG-
417N acting as a DHCP server. When configured as a server, the NBG-417N
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.

pool for LAN.
