2. DHCP Services is enabled by default. Do not disable it unless you want to lose
all your DHCP services.
3. To route DHCP through an external server, enable the DHCP Relay.
4. If you enabled the DHCP Relay feature, you must assign a valid DHCP Server IP
address (the default is 0.0.0.0) and a valid
DHCP Relay Agent IP address.
The DHCP Relay Agent allows the HSG to request a specific range of IP
addresses from different IP pools from the DHCP Server. Leaving these fields
blank forces the system to use the IP pool that contains IP addresses that are on
the same subnet as the HSG.
5. If you want the HSG to act as its own DHCP Server (you did not enable the
DHCP Relay), enable it now.
6. If required, you can make the DHCP Server feature Subnet -based by checking
the appropriate box.
Nomadix’ patented Dynamic Address Translation (DAT) functionality is
automatically configured to facilitate “plug-and-play” access to
subscribers who are misconfigured with static (permanent) IP
addresses, or subscribers that do not have DHCP capability on their
computers. DAT allows all users to obtain network access, regardless of
their computer’s network settings.
By default, the HSG is configured to act as its own DHCP server and the
relay feature is “disabled.” If you want the HSG to act as its own DHCP
server, do not enable the relay. Go directly to Step 8.
You must disable the DHCP server before enabling the DHCP relay.
Both features cannot be enabled concurrently.
If the DHCP Relay Agent IP address is set for an address that is
already used or the IP address of the server, the other system will get
an IP conflict and will not have Internet access.
