To always assign an IP address to a specific DHCP client:

1. Specify the MAC address of the DHCP client and the IP address to be

assigned to it. Then, give a description for this mapping.

2. Select the corresponding Enabled check box.

2.4.4.2. DHCP Relay

When the DHCP server functionality is set to "DHCP Relay", the

SMCWHSG44 won't assign the IP address to the clients. It will forward the

received DHCP requests from the clients to the designate DHCP server. The

only setting for DHCP relay is DHCP server IP address.

The SMCWHSG44-G provides a WAN port Load Balancing mechanism.

Without any policy specified in default settings, the outgoing traffic (from

LAN to WAN, also known as 'Out-bound Load-balancing') will be automatical-

ly balanced between every enabled WAN port, hence the traffic will be equal-

ly balanced under the same throughput level of every WAN interface.

Fig. 68. Load Balancing Mechanism.

In addition, the SMCWHSG44-G can also set the load balancing policy by

Port or IP range, so that the traffic of specified Port or IP range will be

assigned the appointed WAN interface.
