DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows the gateway to automatically obtain the IP
address from a DHCP server on the service provider’s network. The service provider assigns a global
IP address from a pool of addresses available to the service provider. Typically the IP address assigned
has a long lease time, so it will likely be the same address each time the Router requests an IP address.
If DHCP is not enabled on the Router, it is necessary for the user to assign a static IP address at each
computer on your LAN.
