DHCP Test

Perform a DHCP broadcast test to discover router/modem configuration details.

Overview

The MyDHCP test performs a DHCP broadcast from the client to the router/modem and displays the response. This includes any IP address offered, DNS servers configured, subnet/gateway, and more. The test runs in accordance with RFC 2939.

The default test can be run from the MCS home page by clicking the Start Test button.
