3.5.2
DHCP Server
The Ericsson W3x incorporates a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) server which dynamically assigns IP addresses to devices on the
LAN/WLAN whenever they are switched on. The DHCP server also puts
the hostname, supplied by the client DHCP request, in the local DNS
(Domain Name System/Service) proxy.
The DNS proxy contains a small database of local host names and
addresses supplied by client DHCP requests. In addition it also caches
requests to remote DNS servers.
The following configuration options are displayed in the “DHCP server”
section on the
