AP-5131 Access Point Product Reference Guide

This interface is a
DHCP Client
Select this button to enable DHCP to set AP-5131 network address
information via the LAN connection. This is recommended if the
AP-5131 resides within a large corporate network or the Internet
Service Provider (ISP) uses DHCP.
DHCP is a protocol that includes mechanisms for IP address
allocation and delivery of host-specific configuration parameters
from a DHCP server to a host. If DHCP Client is selected, the first
DHCP or BOOTP server to respond sets the IP address and network
address values since DHCP and BOOTP are interoperable.
This interface is a
BOOTP Client
Select this button to enable BOOTP to set
AP-5131 network
address information via the LAN connection.
When selected, only BOOTP responses are accepted by the
AP-5131. If both DHCP and BOOTP services are required, do not
select BOOTP Client.
This interface uses
static IP Address
Select the This interface uses static IP Address button, and
manually enter static network address information in the areas
provided.
This interface is a
DHCP Server
The
AP-5131 can be configured to function as a DHCP server over
the LAN connection. Select the This interface is a DHCP Server
button and manually enter static network address information in
the areas provided.
Address Assignment
Range
Use the address assignment parameter to specify a range of
numerical (non DNS name) IP addresses reserved for mapping
client MAC addresses to IP addresses. If a manually (static)
mapped IP address is within the IP address range specified, that IP
address could still be assigned to another client. To avoid this,
ensure all statically mapped IP addresses are outside of the IP
address range assigned to the DHCP server.
Advanced DHCP
Server
Click the Advanced DHCP Server button to display a screen used
for generating a list of static MAC to IP address mappings for
reserved clients. For more information, see Configuring Advanced
DHCP Server Settings on page 5-10.
IP Address The network-assigned
numerical (non DNS name) IP address of
the
AP-5131.
