Chapter 14: Client DHCP Configuration
TR0190 Rev. A1 96
subnet 192.168.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
{
option broadcast-address 192.168.5.255;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name "domain.com";
range 192.168.5.7 192.168.5.254;
}
Note that in this definition no “routers” option is needed. If a global “routers” option is defined,
the EL-500 will automatically change it to an appropriate value in DHCP responses to client
devices based on the centralized DHCP settings on the EL-500. In this example, two IP
addresses are set aside for the DHCP server and the EL-500’s Ethernet interface and four IP
addresses are set aside for the client access interfaces on the EL-500. Therefore the address
pool starts from 192.168.5.7.
