Packets are forwarded to the default IP when frames are sent to a remote network via the default gateway.
The configured IP address must belong to the same subnet as one of the IP interfaces.
The DHCP Configuration section of theSystem General Page System General Page contains the following fields:
• DHCP Configuration — Indicates if the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is enabled.
– Enable — DHCP dynamically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing,
a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. If the DHCP client
software is activated, the device immediately begins to query the network for a DHCP server. The device
continues to query the network for its IP configuration until it receives a response. If the device and IP
address are manually assigned, that address is deleted and replaced by the IP address received from
the DHCP server.
– Disable — Disables DHCP on the device. In this case, the device, following reset, checks if the IP
address is already defined in the Startup Configuration. If not, the device tries to receive an IP address
from a BootIP server until either an IP address is received or the user defines the IP address manually.
• MAC Address Aging Time — The time interval an inactive dynamic MAC address can remain in the MAC
address table before it is deleted. The default time is 300 seconds, and the range is 10-630.
