CHAPTER 10
DHCP Server
10.1 Overview
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), RFC 2131 and RFC 2132 allow individual clients to
obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the EMG1302-R10A’s LAN
as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the EMG1302-R10A provides the TCP/
IP configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on
your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured.
10.2 What You Can Do
•Use the General screen to enable the DHCP server (Section 10.4 on page 96).
•Use the Advanced screen to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers
based on their MAC Addresses (Section 10.5 on page 97).
•Use the Client List screen to view DHCP client list (Section 10.6 on page 98).
10.3 What You Need To Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
MAC Addresses
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is
assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example,
00:A0:C5:00:00:02. Find out the MAC addresses of your network devices if you intend to add them
to the DHCP Client List screen.
