Configuring Static DHCP

The DHCP server function allows you to add the MAC address and IP address of
endpoints that will connect to the network. When the endpoint connects to the
router, the DHCP server identifies any endpoints that have been configured. If an
endpoint has been configured in the server, the server assigns it the customized IP
address. If the endpoint is not configured in the server, it is assigned an IP address
from the generic DHCP pool.
Choose Networking > LAN (Local Network) > Static DHCP.
Click Add.
Enter the IP address of the device.
Enter the MAC address of the device. The format for the MAC Address is
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX where X is a number from 0 to 9 (inclusive) or an alphabetical
letter between A and F (inclusive).
NOTE: The IP Address assigned should be outside the pool of the DHCP
addresses configured on the router. The DHCP pool is treated as generic pool and
all reserved IPs should be outside this pool. The DHCP server will then serve the
reserved IP address when the device using the corresponding MAC address
requests an IP address.
Click Save.

Configuring Automatic Configuration Download
You can configure devices that are connected to the Cisco RV180/RV180W to
download configuration files from a TFTP server. This can be useful in scenarios
like the following:
• You are deploying a large number of access points and you want them to all
download and use the same configuration file.
• You have devices, such as IP phones, that need to load configuration files
when they are connected to the network. (Non-router devices must have
the ability to download files from a TFTP server.)
