Link: IP Allocation
When you click the
IP Allocation
link, the IP Allocation page appears.
The IP Allocation page lets you set aside or assign IP addresses to client devices on your network. With IP
allocation, you can configure known devices to either use DHCP for dynamic IP address assignment, or set
aside a specific IP address for a client device. When IP allocation is enabled for a client, that device is assigned
a pre-determined IP address by the DHCP server of the NVG599. IP allocation lets you set up client devices as
common DHCP systems, but ensures that they always receive the same IP address from the gateway.
The IP Allocation table shows a list of all identified and active client devices the NVG599 is serving.
To change the allocation method used by a client:
1. Locate the client in the IP Allocation table. The client may be identified by the
Name value (in the IPv4
Address/Name column) or the device MAC address.
2. Click the
Allocate
button associated with the client entry.
NOTE:
IP Allocation functions require you to enter your NVG599 Gateway’s access code. Information on the device
code is provided in
“Device Access Code” on page 24
