Setting Description
Enabled DHCP always obtains IP addresses for the
access point, subnet mask, and (optional)
default router when the access point reboots.
It also obtains the lease expiration time.
Enabled, if IP
address is zero
(default)
If IP Address is 0.0.0.0, DHCP obtains IP
addresses for the access point, subnet mask,
and (optional) default router. It also obtains
the lease expiration time. The access point
ignores other DHCP configuration options.
Disabled Disables DHCP. You must manually set the IP
addresses before the TCP/IP stack is enabled.
" NOTE: If you are using OWL/IP tunneling, you should not use DHCP to
allocate IP addresses to super root candidates or designated bridges
unless a permanent lease is used, and the access point is rebooted
after getting an address. OWL/IP options start on page 4-79.
The access point responds only to address offers from
DHCP or Bootp servers. In either case the server is
specified in the DHCP server name field.
DHCP Server Name
The prompt for the DHCP server name is:
Range is:
31 chars
The access point responds only to the named server. The
default server name is “Norand DHCP Server.” This name
prevents the access point from inadvertently obtaining an
IP configuration from existing servers on the network.
If the DHCP server name is configured with a null string
(“”), the access point responds to offers from any server.
