Server Setup
DHCP Requested Lease Duration (min)
This setting specifies the length of time the access point requests for an IP address lease from your DHCP
server. Enter the number of minutes the access point should request.
DHCP Minimum Lease Duration (min)
This setting specifies the shortest amount of time the access point accepts for an IP address lease. The
access point ignores leases shorter than this period. Enter the minimum number of minutes the access
point should accept for a lease period.
DHCP Client Identifier Type
Use this optional setting to include a class identifier type in the DHCP request packets the access point
sends to your DHCP server. Your DHCP server can be set up to send responses according to class
identifier type. If most of the client devices using the access point are the same device type, you can
select that device type to be included in the DHCP request packet.
Use Ethernet (10Mb), the default setting, if you do not intend to set up your DHCP server to send
responses according to class identifier type.
If you want to include a unique value in the DHCP Client Identifier Value field (the setting under DHCP
Client Identifier Type on the Boot Server Setup page), select Other - Non Hardware. Table 7 -1 lists the
options in the DHCP Client Identifier Type pull-down menu
