This interface is a
BOOTP Client
Select this button to enable BOOTP to set Altitude 35xx
network address information via this LAN1 or LAN2

When selected, only BOOTP responses are accepted by
the Altitude 35xx. If both DHCP and BOOTP services are
required, do not select BOOTP Client.
This interface uses
static IP Address
Select the This interface uses static IP Address button,
and manually enter static network address information in
the areas provided.
This interface is a
DHCP Server
The Altitude 35xx can be configured to function as a
DHCP server over the LAN1 or LAN2 connection. Select
the This interface is a DHCP Server button and manually
enter static network address information in the areas
provided.
Address
Assignment Range
Use the address assignment parameter to specify a range
of numerical (non DNS name) IP addresses reserved for
mapping client MAC addresses to IP addresses. If a
manually (static) mapped IP address is within the IP
address range specified, that IP address could still be
assigned to another client. To avoid this, ensure all
statically mapped IP addresses are outside of the IP
address range assigned to the DHCP server.
Advanced DHCP
Server
Click the Advanced DHCP Server button to display a
screen used for generating a list of static MAC to IP
address mappings for reserved clients. A separate screen
exists for each of the LANs. For more information, see
“Configuring Advanced DHCP Server Settings” on
page 122.
IP Address The network-assigned numerical (non DNS name) IP
address of the Altitude 35xx.
Network Mask The first two sets of numbers specify the network domain,
the next set specifies the subset of hosts within a larger
network. These values help divide a network into
subnetworks and simplify routing and data transmission.
The subnet mask defines the size of the subnet.
Default Gateway The Default Gateway parameter defines the numerical
(non DNS name) IP address of a router the Altitude 35xx
uses on the Ethernet as its default gateway.
Domain Name Enter the name assigned to the primary DNS server.
Primary DNS
Server
Enter the Primary DNS numerical (non DNS name) IP
address.
Secondary DNS
Server
Extreme Networks recommends entering the numerical IP
address of an additional DNS server (if available), used if
the primary DNS server goes down. A maximum of two
DNS servers can be used.
WINS Server Enter the numerical (non DNS name) IP address of the
WINS server. WINS is a Microsoft NetBIOS name server.
Using a WINS server eliminates the broadcasts needed to
resolve computer names to IP addresses by providing a
cache or database of translations.
