Configure Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol
The P850 uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to
allow users in a small office environment to simply enable DHCP
clients on their workstations and power them up to get their proper
initialization. You would then be able to use TCP/IP applications
(such as connecting to the Internet). DHCP allows configuration of
devices (DHCP clients) to be handled from a central DHCP server.
This allows devices to be added and removed from a network with all
of the network information (i.e. IP address, DNS, subnet mask, etc.)
being configured automatically. It is designed to allocate network
addresses to a number of hosts on the P850’s LAN and supply
minimal configuration needed to allow hosts to operate in an IP
network.
The following steps must be performed on the P850 to configure it as
a DHCP server.
