This option allows you to optionally specify a Windows Internet Name Service (WINS)
server. You may choose to use the built-in WINS server or external WINS servers.
When this unit is connected using SpeedFusion
TM
, other VPN peers can share this unit's
built-in WINS server by entering this unit's LAN IP address in their DHCP WINS Server
setting. Afterward, all PC clients in the VPN can resolve the NetBIOS names of other
clients in remote peers. If you have enabled this option, a list of WINS clients will be
displayed at Status>WINS Clients.
Check this box to enable BOOTP on older networks that still require it.
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, as defined in RFC
2132. With these extended options enabled, you can pass additional configuration
information to LAN hosts.
To define an extended DHCP option, click the Add button, choose the option 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 can be defined once only.
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’ names, MAC addresses, and fixed IP addresses.
Name (an optional field) allows you to specify 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 client information can be imported
from the Client List, located at
Status>Client List. For more details, please refer to
Section 22.3.
This is the port speed of the LAN interface. It should be set to the same speed as the
connected device to avoid port negotiation problems. When a static speed is set, you may
choose whether to advertise its speed to the peer device. Auto is selected by default. You
can choose not to advertise the port speed if the port has difficulty negotiating with the
peer device.
