Network Interface | DHCP

The BW1330 controller can act as a DHCP server and/or as a DHCP relay gateway. The DHCP

(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) service is supported on the LAN interfaces [ixp0/vlan[n]]. This

service enables clients on the LAN to request configuration information, such as an IP address, from

a server. This service can be viewed in the following table:

Figure 100 – DHCP Configuration

By default the AC is configured to act as a DHCP server.

Each LAN interface runs a different instance of the DHCP service. This service is configured by

defining an IP address range and WINS address for client workstations. Other settings, such as the

default gateway and DNS server address are configured automatically according to the interface

settings.
