4.2.1.1 Summary: DHCP Table

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to

obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the NBG-418N’s LAN as a

DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the NBG-418N provides the TCP/IP

configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on

that network, or else the computer must be manually configured.

Click the DHCP Table (Details...) hyperlink in the Status screen. Read-only information here

relates to your DHCP status. The DHCP table shows current DHCP client information (including IP

Address, Host Name and MAC Address) of all network clients using the NBG-418N’s DHCP

server.

Ethernet encapsulation and Idle (line (ppp) idle), Dial (starting to trigger a

call) and Drop (dropping a call) if you're using PPPoE or PPTP encapsulation.

This field displays NA when the line is disconnected.

For the WLAN, it displays the maximum transmission rate when the WLAN is
