DHCP Server Settings
DHCP Server
When this setting is enabled, the Pepwave router’s 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 collisions
on the LAN.
To enable DHCP bridge relay, please click the icon on this menu item.
IP Range &
Subnet Mask
These settings allocate a range of IP address 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 Lease Time, the assigned IP address will no longer be
valid and the IP address assignment must be renewed.
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 specify the 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 Servers setting. Therefore, 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
information to LAN hosts. To define an extended DHCP option, click the Add button, choose
the option to define, and then enter its value. For values that are in IP address list format,
you can enter one IP address per line in the provided text area input control. Each option
can be defined once only.
DHCP
Reservation
This setting reserves the assignment of fixed IP addresses for a list of computers on the
LAN. The computers to be assigned fixed IP addresses on the LAN are identified by their
MAC addresses. The fixed IP address assignment is displayed as a cross-reference list
between the computers’ names, MAC addresses, and fixed IP addresses.
Name (an optional field) allows you to specify a name to represent the device. MAC
addresses should be in the format of 00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE. Press to create a new
record. Press to remove a record. Reserved clients information can be imported from
the Client List, located at Status>Client List. For more details, please refer to Section
