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.
