USER MANUAL

Peplink Balance Series

IP Range &

Subnet Mask

This setting allocates a range of IP address that will be assigned to LAN computers

by the DHCP server of Peplink Balance.

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 the 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 the

DHCP clients. If Assign DNS server automatically is selected, the Peplink

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

WINS Server

This option allows you to specify the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS)

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

When this unit is Site-to-Site VPN connected, other VPN peers can share this

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

WINS Servers setting. Therefore, 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.

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

defined in RFC 2132. In this case, you can pass additional configuration

information to LAN hosts.

To define an Extended DHCP Option, click the Add button, choose the option that

you want to define and enter its value. For values that are in IP address list format,

you can enter one IP address per line in the provided text area input control. Each

option is allowed to be defined once only.

DHCP Reservation

This setting reserves the assignment of fixed IP addresses for a list of computers

on the LAN. The computers to be assigned fixed IP addresses on the LAN are

identified by their MAC addresses.

The fixed IP address assignment is displayed as a cross-reference list between the

computers’ Name, MAC addresses and fixed IP addresses.

The field Name (an optional field) is for you to define a name to represent the

device. MAC addresses should be in the format of 00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE

Press to create a new record. Press to remove a record.

Reserved clients information can be imported from the Client List, located at Status > Client

List. For more details, please refer to section 20.3

Static Route Settings

Static Route

This table is for defining static routing rules for the LAN segment.

A static route consists of the network address, subnet mask, and gate

way address.

The address and subnet mask values are in the format of w.x.y.z

The local LAN subnet and subnets behind the LAN will be advertised to the

VPN. Remote routes sent over the VPN will also be accepted. Any VPN member

will be able to route to the local subnets.
