as these IPs will not be handed out by the SA. If they have more devices
or want a different IP range, then all they need to do is modify the range
that the SA hands out so it does not hand out an IP in that range. Typical
offices set their DHCP server to assign IPs from 30 through 200. IPs 1
through 29 are usually assigned to servers and 201 and above are
reserved for special uses.
You can either enable the DHCP server or disable it in this screen also.
n To Enable the DHCP Server
If you do not have a DHCP server on your network,
1. Select the Enable radio button.(already enabled by default).
2. Enter a number in Lease time field.
3. Enter the IP address range1 as “172.16.1.2” and “172.16.1.250”
(default).
4. Enter the IP address range2, otherwise enter “0” in each field.
5. Enter the IP address range3, otherwise enter “0” in each field.
6. Enter the IP address range4, otherwise enter “0” in each field.
7. Click the apply button.
When DHCP server is enabled, it will allow DHCP clients to obtain their
network configuration from the unit. In the figure above, the IP address
range of 172.16.1.2 to 172.16.1.250 is dynamically assigned to
individual DHCP clients. The DHCP client may be assigned an IP
address like “172.16.1.10”. The IP address “172.16.1.1” cannot be
assigned as it is not in the range and is also assigned to SA under Basic
Settings. If you assign another network (e.g. 192.168.1.x) to IP address
ranges 2, 3, 4, please refer to section 4.2 for further IP Alias setting.
When no other IP address ranges are assigned, a zero value should be
filled in to indicate that no other IP addresses are available for
assignment.
n To Disable the DHCP Server
If you already have a DHCP server on your network,
1. Select Disable radio button
2. Click the apply button.
