Address when

bridge

connected

If you choose to override IP address when the VPN is connected, the device will not act as a

router, and most Layer 3 routing functions will cease to work.

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.

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 Server

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

, 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

information to LAN hosts.

To define an extended DHCP option, click the Add button, choose the option to define and
