Viewing Log Messages
If the DHCP server is not working properly, you can view system log messages by
choosing DHCP Server. Then, choose Log Messages. The page will display log
messages for the DHCP server. Timestamps are also reported in client time.
Timestamps track the date and time for each event in the log.
Status
To view a summary of the interfaces that the DHCP server is currently running, choose
DHCP Server. Then, choose Status. The page will display the enabled interfaces for
the DHCP server.
DHCP Relay Menu
This section defines the elements described a few pages back in the section, called
Basic Instructions for Setting Up DHCP on an Interface, page 3-40.
DHCP Relay allows you to configure the SPEEDLAN 9000 to relay (forward) any DHCP
requests originating on the Ethernet interface to a DHCP server outside of the
SPEEDLAN 9000 cloud. This allows you to use existing DHCP servers to assign IP
addresses and other configuration parameters for SPEEDLAN 9000 routers via their
wireless interfaces. If this service is enabled and no DHCP servers are listed, the
SPEEDLAN 9000 will relay DHCP requests to the DHCP server that the SPEEDLAN
9000 used to get its interface address. If this service is enabled and the SPEEDLAN
9000 did not use DHCP to get an address for its interface, then there must be at least
one DHCP server address listed for this feature to work. To set the DHCP Relay, choose
DHCP Relay from the main menu. The following page will appear.
