The DHCP server offers addresses to the devices connected on the Ethernet network. The DHCP server only delivers static addresses. A unique identified slave gets a unique address. DHCP slave devices are identified either by their MAC address or their DHCP device name. The DHCP server configuration table defines the relation between addresses and identified slave devices.
The DHCP server addresses are given with an infinite lease time. There is no need for the slave devices to refresh the leased IP address.
The synthesis of the DHCP server configuration is displayed on the Ethernet Services tab.
For more information, refer to IP Addressing Methods.
