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 NBG5715’s LAN as a

DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the NBG5715 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.

Click

Monitor > DHCP Table

or the

DHCP Table (Details...)

Status

Read-only information here relates to your DHCP status. The DHCP table shows current DHCP client

information (including

MAC Address, IP Address

, and

Expiration time

) of all network clients

using the NBG5715’s DHCP server.
