Extended DHCP
Option
In addition to standard DHCP options (e.g. DNS server address, gateway address, subnet
mask), you can specify the value of additional Extended DHCP Options defined in RFC
2132. In this case, you can pass additional configuration information to LAN hosts.
To define an Extended DHCP Option, click the Add button, choose the option that you want
to define and enter its value. For values that are in IP address list format, you can enter one
IP address per line in the provided text area input control. Each option is allowed to be
defined once only.
DHCP Reservation
This setting reserves the assignment of fixed IP addresses for a list of computers on the
LAN. The computers to be assigned fixed IP addresses on the LAN are identified by their
MAC addresses.
The fixed IP address assignment is displayed as a cross-reference list between the
computers’ Name, MAC addresses and fixed IP addresses.
The field Name (an optional field) is for you to define a name to represent the device. MAC
addresses should be in the format of 00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE
Press to create a new record. Press to remove a record.
Reserved clients information can be imported from the Client List, located at
List. For more details, please refer to section 23.3
Static Route
This table is for defining static routing rules for the LAN segment.
A static route consists of the network address, subnet mask, and gateway address. The
address and subnet mask values are in the format of w.x.y.z
The local LAN subnet and subnets behind the LAN will be advertised to the VPN. Remote
routes sent over the VPN will also be accepted. Any VPN member will be able to route to
the local subnets.

peers. Requests are forwarded to the DNS servers/resolvers
defined in each WAN connection.
DNS Caching
This field is to enable DNS caching on the built-in DNS proxy server. When the option is
enabled, queried DNS replies will be cached until the records’ TTL has been reached. This
feature can help improve the DNS lookup time by storing all received DNS results for a
faster DNS response time. However, it cannot return the most updated result for those
frequently updated DNS records.
