12.6 Configuring the Cafe Subnet

Clarissa selects the third subnet in the LAN menu list under Network Configuration in the left menu.
She then renames this subnet "Cafesn"and gives it the IP address 192.168.2.1 and a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0. The only devices on this subnet are the customer's laptops in the cafe.
Using the Interfaces section of the screen, she associates the third WLAN with this subnet, and activates
the DHCP server with an IP address range of 192.168.2.11 to 192.168.2.254.
Clarissa clicks Advanced DHCP Server and enters the DNS server IP addresses. The Default Gateway
is fine. However, Clarissa expects the cafe patrons to come and go frequently, so she reduces the IP address
lease time to 1800 seconds. This means that a DHCP client mobile unit will give up its IP address if it is
inactive on the network for more than half an hour. This seems about right for the usage patterns that she
expects for the cafe. If she gets complaints, she will increase it to an hour.
