What is DHCP?

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and is a network management protocol used to automate the process of configuring devices on IP networks, thus allowing them to use network services such as DNS, NTP, and any communication protocol based on UDP or TCP.

Note: Pay attention to the local IP address you choose for you Synology NAS device. Make sure it’s not already being used by another device in your local network area. Each device in your local network area should have a unique IP address.
