GWN76XX User Manual
Version 1.0.19.25
DHCP Server
By default, GWN has DHCP relay, but users could create and manage multiple DHCP server pools which
will be mapped to the SSID using VLAN tag, for example when creating a DHCP pool under “System
Settings DHCP Server” users need to set a VLAN ID and same one should be set under SSID to map
the configured DHCP pool with the SSID. This way users could configure multiple SSIDs mapped to
multiple VLANs on the network in which case they are isolated by layer 2 switching.
The table below summarizes the configuration parameters for DHCP server.

NAT
