LABEL DESCRIPTION
DHCP Server Select Enable to activate DHCP for LAN.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual
clients (computers) to obtain TCP/IP configuration at startup from a server. Enable the
DHCP server unless your ISP instructs you to do otherwise. Select Disable to stop the
LTE2566-M634 acting as a DHCP server. When configured as a server, the LTE2566-M634
provides TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If not, DHCP service is disabled and you must
have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computers must be manually
configured. When set as a server, fill in the following four fields.
IP Pool Starting Address This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool for LAN.
Pool Size This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool for LAN.
Lease Time This is the period of time DHCP-assigned addresses is used. DHCP automatically assigns IP
addresses to clients when they log in. DHCP centralizes IP address management on
central computers that run the DHCP server program. DHCP leases addresses, for a
period of time, which means that past addresses are "recycled" and made available for
future reassignment to other systems.
Guest DHCP Server Select Enable to activate DHCP for the VLAN group.
DHCP Server IP Address Enter the LAN IP address you want to assign to your LTE2566-M634 in this VLAN group.
IP Pool Starting Address Specify the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool for LAN.
Pool Size Specify the size, or count of the IP address pool for LAN.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the LTE2566-M634.
