:
• Enabling Packet Forwarding within the same network, stops the communication between all the wireless clients and
forwards data to the gateway.
• If the Uplink Port is enabled as 'Auto', then only unicast traffic is forwarded to the gateway. The multicast and broadcast
traffic is forwarded to wireless clients.
• If the Uplink Port is enabled as 'Ethernet' or 'WDS_X_Y', then all the traffic (unicast, multicast and broadcast) between
the wireless clients is forwarded to the gateway.

5.9 DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that enables a server to assign an IP address to a device
from a defined range of IP addresses configured for a given network. It allows you to distribute IP addresses from a central
point to various hosts and simplifies the process of configuring the IP addresses to individual hosts.
5.9.1 DHCP Server
DHCP automatically allocates network addresses and also delivers configuration parameters dynamically to the clients from
the DHCP Server. When DHCP server is enabled, it allows allocation of IP addresses to clients connected to the device.

Specifies the status of Packet Forwarding on the AP device.
By default, it is disabled. To configure, select Enable from the drop down menu.
Specifies the MAC address of the destined gateway device. To configure, enter the
Gateway MAC Address.
Specifies the port of the gateway, that should participate in Packet Forwarding. The
Uplink Port Name can be configured as any of the following:
– Auto: Configure the Uplink Port Name to Auto, when the interface of the destined
gateway port is unknown. Based on the configured peer MAC address, the AP device
automatically detects the gateway port by checking within its bridge table.
– Ethernet: Configure the Uplink Port Name to Ethernet, when the destined gateway
port is connected on ethernet interface of the AP device.
– WDS: Configure the Uplink Port Name to WDS, when the destined gateway port is
connected on WDS interface of the AP device.
Based on the radio (interface 1 and interface 2) and the VAP enabled, the Uplink Port Name
configured in WDS is represented as:
WDS_X_Y; where
X = the radio on which the VAP is enabled (interface 1 or interface 2)
Y = the VAP enabled on a radio (VAP 1, VAP 2......VAP 8)
For example, if Uplink Port Name is WDS_1_2 then, 1 represents radio 1 (interface 1) and 2
represents VAP 2.
