Managing the DHCP Server
DHCP is generally used between clients (e.g., hosts) and servers (e.g., routers) for the purpose of assigning IP
addresses, gateways, and other networking definitions such as DNS, NTP, and/or SIP parameters. The DHCP
Server folder contains links to web pages that define and display DHCP parameters and data.
Global Configuration
Use the Global Configuration page to configure DHCP global parameters.
To display the page, click LAN > Administration > DHCP Server > Global Configuration in the navigation tree.
