DHCP uses client/server communication mode. The client submits a
configuration application to the server, and the server returns the IP address
assigned to the client, in this way, DHCP realizes the dynamic configuration of
the IP address.
DHCP server and DHCP forwarding function are mutually exclusive.

interface, set the start and end IP addresses, click Add, and then click Apply &
Save.
Method for enabling DHCP forwarding in ER800:

address, select the gateway interface, and click Apply & Save.
