LABEL DESCRIPTION
DHCP Mode Select DHCP se rve r from the drop-down list to have the NBG-418N v2 act as a DHCP
server. Otherwise, select None . DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131
and RFC 2132) allows individual clients (computers) to obtain TCP/IP configuration at
startup from a server. Choose DHCP Se rve r option unless your ISP instructs you to do
otherwise. Choose None to disable the NBG-418N v2 acting as a DHCP server. When
configured as a server, the NBG-418N v2 provides TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If
not, DHCP service is disabled and you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or
else the computers must be manually configured. When set as a server, fill in the following
four fields.
