Configuring Global DHCP Settings: Ignoring BOOTP
and Setting the Ping Interval
Two global settings apply to the Wireless Edge Services zl Module’s internal
DHCP server:
■ Ignoring BOOTP requests—BOOTP is an earlier protocol that uses the
same ports as DHCP. Like DHCP, BOOTP enables stations to receive
dynamic configurations, typically including the name and location of a
boot file. If your network includes devices that use BOOTP, it may also
include a server already configured to serve these devices. In this case,
you should configure the Wireless Edge Services zl Module to ignore
BOOTP requests so that they can reach the proper server.
■ Ping interval—Before assigning an IP address to a station, the Wireless
Edge Services zl Module pings the address twice to verify that the address
is available. You can configure the number of seconds that the module
waits in between the two pings.
To configure the global DHCP settings, follow these steps:
1. Select Network Setup > DHCP Server > Configuration.
