Address Assignment
Range
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.
Advanced 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
IP Address
The network-assigned numerical (non DNS name) IP address of the
access point.
Network Mask
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.
Default Gateway
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.
Domain Name
Enter the name assigned to the primary DNS server.
Primary DNS Server
Enter the Primary DNS numerical (non DNS name) IP address.
