15.3. DHCP Server Configuration

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol allows for new machines connecting to your local network to be automatically assigned an IP address, get the addresses of the name servers and the address of the gateway when relevant.

All you have to do is specify the range of addresses that you want to have available via DHCP, as shown in figure 15-10.
