Chapter 13: Client IP Configuration

TR0153 Rev. E1 100

If the ‘dhcp.reserve’ value is non-zero, the DHCP range start address will be affected as shown

below

Start address = <LAN prefix>.

<Mesh ID>.

<Node ID>.

CLI

The DHCP mode parameters in the ‘wlanN’ and ‘eth0’ interfaces control DHCP behavior.

When the role is set to ‘server’, the EnRoute500 will respond to DHCP requests received from

client devices connected to the interface.

The examples below show how to set the DHCP server state for the ‘wlan1’ interface.

> use wlan1

wlan1> set dhcp.role=server

wlan1> set dhcp.relay.enable=no

To disable the DHCP server, set the ‘dhcp.role’ parameter to ‘none’

> use wlan1

wlan1> set dhcp.role=none

The example below shows how to set the DHCP reserve parameter

> use wlan1

wlan1> set dhcp.reserve=5

Web GUI

The VAP and wired interface DHCP servers’ state can be set via the web interface using the

“DHCP” sub-tab under the “DHCP” tab on the “System Parameters” page (see Figure 46). All

of the interfaces’ DHCP settings can be configured on this page. Set the “Mode” field to

“Server” to set the DHCP mode for a client access interface to be the local server.

The DHCP reserve setting for all VAPs and the wired interface can be set via the web interface

using the “DHCP” sub-tab under the “DHCP” tab on the “System Parameters” page (see

Figure 46).
