Altitude 4700 Series Access Point Product Reference Guide
Select this button to enable DHCP to set network address
information via this LAN1 or LAN2 connection. This is
recommended if the access point resides within a large
corporate network or the Internet Service Provider (ISP)
uses DHCP. This setting is enabled for LAN1 by default.
DHCP is a protocol that includes mechanisms for IP
address allocation and delivery of host-specific
configuration parameters from a DHCP server to a host. If
DHCP Client is selected, the first DHCP or BOOTP server
to respond sets the IP address and network address
values since DHCP and BOOTP are interoperable.
Select this button to enable BOOTP to set access point
network address information via this LAN1 or LAN2
connection.
When selected, only BOOTP responses are accepted by
the access point. If both DHCP and BOOTP services are
required, do not select BOOTP Client.
Select the This interface uses static IP Address button,
and manually enter static network address information in
the areas provided.
The access point can be configured to function as a DHCP
server over the LAN1 or LAN2 connection. Select the This
interface is a DHCP Server button and manually enter
static network address information in the areas provided.
Use the address assignment parameter to specify a range
of numerical (non DNS name) IP addresses reserved for
mapping client MAC addresses to IP addresses. If a
manually (static) mapped IP address is within the IP
address range specified, that IP address could still be
assigned to another client. To avoid this, ensure all
statically mapped IP addresses are outside of the IP
address range assigned to the DHCP server.
Click the Advanced DHCP Server button to display a
screen used for generating a list of static MAC to IP
address mappings for reserved clients. A separate screen
exists for each of the LANs. For more information, see
"Configuring Advanced DHCP Server Settings" on
page 132.
The network-assigned numerical (non DNS name) IP
address of the access point.
The first two sets of numbers specify the network domain,
the next set specifies the subset of hosts within a larger
network. These values help divide a network into
subnetworks and simplify routing and data transmission.
The subnet mask defines the size of the subnet.
The Default Gateway parameter defines the numerical
(non DNS name) IP address of a router the access point
uses on the Ethernet as its default gateway.
Enter the name assigned to the primary DNS server.
Enter the Primary DNS numerical (non DNS name) IP
address.
Extreme Networks recommends entering the numerical IP
address of an additional DNS server (if available), used if
the primary DNS server goes down. A maximum of two
DNS servers can be used.
