DHCP Server Settings
DHCP Server
When this setting is enabled, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to each
computer that is connected via LAN and configured to obtain an IP address via DHCP. The
Pepwave router’s DHCP server can prevent IP address collision on the LAN.
DHCP Server
Logging
Enable logging of DHCP events in the eventlog by selecting the checkbox.
IP Range &
Subnet Mask
These settings allocate a range of IP addresses that will be assigned to LAN computers by
the Pepwave router’s DHCP server.
Lease Time
This setting specifies the length of time throughout which an IP address of a DHCP client
remains valid. Upon expiration of the lease time, the assigned IP address will no longer be
valid and renewal of the IP address assignment will be required.
DNS Servers
This option allows you to input the DNS server addresses to be offered to DHCP clients. If
Assign DNS server automatically is selected, the Pepwave router’s built-in DNS server
address (i.e., LAN IP address) will be offered.
WINS Servers
This option allows you to optionally specify a Windows Internet Name Service (WINS)
server. You may choose to use the built-in WINS server or external WINS servers.
When this unit is connected using SpeedFusion
TM
, other VPN peers can share this unit's
built-in WINS server by entering this unit's LAN IP address in their DHCP WINS Server
setting. Afterward, all PC clients in the VPN can resolve the NetBIOS names of other clients
in remote peers. If you have enabled this option, a list of WINS clients will be displayed at
Status>WINS Clients.
BOOTP
Check this box to enable BOOTP on older networks that still require it.
Extended
DHCP Option
In addition to standard DHCP options (e.g., DNS server address, gateway address, subnet
mask), you can specify the value of additional extended DHCP options, as defined in RFC
2132. With these extended options enabled, you can pass additional configuration
