LAN IP Setup
IPAddress Enter the LAN IPv4 IP address you want to assign to your VMG in dotted decimal notation, for
example, 192.168.1.1 (factory default).
Subnet Mask Type the subnet mask of your network in dotted decimal notation, for example 255.255.255.0
(factory default). Your VMG automatically computes the subnet mask based on the IP Address
you enter, so do not change this field unless you are instructed to do so.
DHCP Server State
DHCP Select Enable to have the VMG act as a DHCP server or DHCP relay agent.
Select Disable to stop the DHCP server on the VMG.
Select DHCP Relay to have the VMG forward DHCP request to the DHCP server.

when the host requests an IP address again through DHCP.
DHCP Server
Lease Time
This is the period of time DHCP-assigned addresses is used. DHCP automatically assigns IP
addresses to clients when they log in. DHCP centralizes IP address management on central
computers that run the DHCP server program. DHCP leases addresses, for a period of time,
which means that past addresses are “recycled” and made available for future reassignment to
other systems.
This field is only available when you select Enable in the DHCP field.

the DHCP clients.
