Portal Backup
Use the Portal Backup tab (Figure 151) to back up the portal databases and configuration to a TFTP
server and to restore the configuration from the TFTP server. To back up and restore, enter the
server IP address and specify a backup file name. To restore, enter the same TFTP server address
and file name. If you want to reboot the AP once the configuration file has been copied, select
Reboot. (required)

Configuring the DHCP Server
NM Portal includes an internal DCHP server, which can be activated to support IP address
assignments in the network if a DHCP server is not in place. Choose DHCP from the NM Services
menu to open the DHCP panel. The panel contains the following tabs:
• DHCP Options — Activate and configure the DHCP server.
• IP Range — Enter address information for the DHCP server.
• Leases — View details about the current DHCP leases.
• Static IP — Assign static IP addresses for specific equipment.
NOTE: Use the DHCP panels to support IP address assignments only if a DHCP server
is not already in place on the existing network.
NOTE: The DHCP server on the NM Portal AP is bound to the default VLAN (VLAN
ID 1). It serves address requests only for this VLAN.
