User manual
If you have an existing DHCP server, and wish to rely on it to automatically configure
the SnapGear unit’s LAN connection settings (not recommended), choose to Obtain
LAN IP address from a DHCP server on LAN. Skip to the next step 3.
2. If you selected Manual configuration, some additional information is required.
Otherwise, skip to the next step.
3. Enter an IP address and Subnet Mask for the SnapGear unit’s LAN connection.
Note
Take note of this IP address and subnet mask, as you will need them later on.
4. To enable the SnapGear unit’s built-in DHCP server, enter a range of addresses to
hand out in DHCP Server Address Range. PCs and other hosts on your LAN that
are set to automatically obtain network settings are assigned an address from this
range, and instructed to use the SnapGear unit as their gateway to the Internet and
as their DNS server for Internet domain name resolution.
5. Click Next.
