5.2.3.1 DHCP Mode<br />

You can configure your network and the router to use the Dynamic Host<br />

Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This screen allows you to select the DHCP mode<br />

that this router will support.<br />

There are two different DHCP modes: DHCP Server and DHCP Relay. When the<br />

router is acting as a DHCP server, configure it on the DHCP Server screen; while<br />

acting as a DHCP relay, you can set up the relay on the DHCP Relay screen.<br />

5.2.3.2 DHCP Relay<br />

Some ISPs perform the DHCP server function for their customers’ home/small<br />

office network. In this case, you can configure this device to act as a DHCP relay<br />

agent. When a user’s computer on your network requests Internet access, the<br />

router contacts your ISP to obtain the IP configuration, and then forwards that<br />

information to the computer.<br />
