DHCP Server
Dynamic Pool Settings
The DHCP address pool denes the range of the IP addresses that can be assigned to stations on the network. A Dynamic Pool
allows wireless stations to receive an available IP with lease time control. If needed or required for the network, the DAP-2230
is capable of acting as a DHCP server.
Function
Enable/

Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP) assigns dynamic IP addresses
to devices on the network. This protocol simplies network management and
allows new wireless devices to receive IP addresses automatically without
the need to manually assign new IP addresses. Select Enable to allow the
DAP-2230 to function as a DHCP server.
