DHCP Server Settings

DHCP Server

When this setting is enabled, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP

address to each computer that is connected via LAN and configured to obtain an

IP address via DHCP. The Pepwave router’s DHCP server can prevent IP

address collision on the LAN.

DHCP Server

Logging

Enable logging of DHCP events in the eventlog by selecting the checkbox.

IP Range &

Subnet Mask

These settings allocate a range of IP addresses that will be assigned to LAN

computers by the Pepwave router’s DHCP server.

Lease Time

This setting specifies the length of time throughout which an IP address of a

DHCP client remains valid. Upon expiration of the lease time, the assigned IP

address will no longer be valid and renewal of the IP address assignment will be

required.

DNS Servers

This option allows you to input the DNS server addresses to be offered to DHCP

clients. If Assign DNS server automatically is selected, the Pepwave router’s

built-in DNS server address (i.e., LAN IP address) will be offered.

WINS Servers

This option allows you to optionally specify a Windows Internet Name Service

(WINS) server. You may choose to use the built-in WINS server or external

WINS servers.

When this unit is connected using SpeedFusion

, other VPN peers can share

this unit's built-in WINS server by entering this unit's LAN IP address in their

DHCP WINS Server setting. Afterward, all PC clients in the VPN can resolve the

NetBIOS names of other clients in remote peers. If you have enabled this option,

a list of WINS clients will be displayed at Status>WINS Clients.

BOOTP

Check this box to enable BOOTP on older networks that still require it.

Extended

DHCP Option

In addition to standard DHCP options (e.g., DNS server address, gateway

address, subnet mask), you can specify the value of additional extended DHCP

options, as defined in RFC 2132. With these extended options enabled, you can
