Router Configuration
Existing DHCP Server Configuration
Page 14
If you have a Router, or an existing DHCP Server, it may need to be configured.
Router and/or DHCP Server Configuration is required ONLY if using the
Barricade to provide shared Internet Access.
Note:
If the Barricade is acting as a DHCP Client (rather than a DHCP Server),
than it can NOT provide shared Internet Access.
If the Barricade has a fixed IP Address, it CAN provide shared Internet
Access. So it is possible to use an existing DHCP Server on your LAN,
provided the Barricade is not a DHCP Client.
If your LAN has a Router or Routers, it or they must be configured to pass
Internet packets to the Barricade.
Generally, this is done by setting the "Default Route" to be the Barricade. If
necessary, check your Router's documentation for details of this procedure.
If your LAN is using another DHCP Server (rather than the Barricade's), configure
the DHCP Server to provide the Barricade's IP Address as the Gateway IP Address.
