6.4 DHCP & DNS
This section describes the Basic > DHCP & DNS page.
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
provides a framework for passing
configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network.
DHCP allows a host to be configured
automatically, eliminating the need for intervention by a network administrator. The Device
can acts as a DHCP server to assign network addresses and deliver other TCP/IP
configuration parameters (such as gateway IP address, DNS server IP address, WINS
server IP address, etc.) to the LAN hosts.
