DHCP Table

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to

obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the EMG2926-Q10A’s LAN

as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the EMG2926-Q10A provides the TCP/

IP configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on

that network, or else the computer must be manually configured.

Overview

This chapter discusses the EMG2926-Q10A’s

WAN

screens. Use these screens to configure your

EMG2926-Q10A for Internet access.

A WAN (Wide Area Network) connection is an outside connection to another network or the

Internet. It connects your private networks such as a LAN (Local Area Network) and other

networks, so that a computer in one location can communicate with computers in other locations.
