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 STPro.
Medium
sized
Server For small home LANs it might be worthwhile to
configure all of your LAN devices as DHCP client and
the STPro as the DHCP server.
In this configuration each time a compute start it will
obtain its IP configuration from the STPro.
Advanced Client For advanced networks, the role of DHCP server might
be performed by an IP node other than the STPro on
the local LAN.
Typically such functions are attributed to home
gateways: computers having better networking
capabilities than the other PC(s) on the home LAN.
All local PCs remain configured as DHCP clients,
including the STPro.
Both the STPro DHCP server and DHCP client are enabled by
default: A utoDHCP.
