DHCP Server
When this setting is enabled, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP
address to each computer that is connected via LAN and configured to obtain
an IP address via DHCP. The Pepwave router’s DHCP server can prevent IP
address collision on the LAN.
DHCP Server
Logging
Enable logging of DHCP events in the eventlog by selecting the checkbox.
IP Range &
Subnet Mask
These settings allocate a range of IP addresses that will be assigned to LAN
computers by the Pepwave router’s DHCP server.
Lease Time
This setting specifies the length of time throughout which an IP address of a
DHCP client remains valid. Upon expiration of the lease time, the assigned IP
address will no longer be valid and renewal of the IP address assignment will
be required.
DNS Servers
This option allows you to input the DNS server addresses to be offered to
DHCP clients. If
Assign DNS server automatically
is selected, the Pepwave
router’s built-in DNS server address (i.e., LAN IP address) will be offered.
BOOTP
Check this box to enable BOOTP on older networks that still require it.
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, 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.
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’
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.
