ProSafe Wireless-N 8-Port Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N
DHCP
Disable DHCP Server If another device on your network is the DHCP server for the VLAN, or if you will
manually configure the network settings of all of your computers, select the Disable
DHCP Server radio button to disable the DHCP server. This is the default setting.
Enable DHCP Server Select the Enable DHCP Server radio button to enable the wireless VPN firewall to
function as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, providing
TCP/IP configuration for all computers connected to the VLAN. Enter the following
settings:
Domain Name This setting is optional. Enter the domain name of the wireless
VPN firewall.
Start IP Address Enter the start IP address. This address specifies the first of
the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool. Any new
DHCP client joining the LAN is assigned an IP address
between this address and the end IP address. The IP address
192.168.1.2 is the default start address.
End IP Address Enter the end IP address. This address specifies the last of the
contiguous addresses in the IP address pool. Any new DHCP
client joining the LAN is assigned an IP address between the
start IP address and this IP address. The IP address
192.168.1.100 is the default end address.
Note: The start and end DHCP IP addresses should be in the
same network as the LAN TCP/IP address of the wireless VPN
firewall (that is, the IP address in the DMZ Port Setup section
as described earlier in this table).
Primary DNS
Server
This setting is optional. If an IP address is specified, the
wireless VPN firewall provides this address as the primary
DNS server IP address. If no address is specified, the wireless
VPN firewall provides its own LAN IP address as the primary
DNS server IP address.
Secondary DNS
Server
This setting is optional. If an IP address is specified, the
wireless VPN firewall provides this address as the secondary
DNS server IP address.
WINS Server This setting is optional. Enter a WINS server IP address to
specify the Windows NetBIOS server, if one is present in your
network.
Lease Time Enter a lease time. This specifies the duration for which IP
addresses are leased to clients.
DHCP Relay To use the wireless VPN firewall as a DHCP relay agent for a DHCP server
somewhere else in your network, select the DHCP Relay radio button. Enter the
following setting:
Relay Gateway The IP address of the DHCP server for which the wireless VPN
firewall serves as a relay.
