5.3 WAN for DHCP Client Screen
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), based on RFC 2131 and RFC 2132,
allows individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. Users
can configure the FSG1100HN’s LAN as a DHCP server or disable it. When

clients. If DHCP service is disabled, another DHCP server must be available on that
network, or the computer will need to be manually configured.
