CHAPTER 4: SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Enter the DHCP Pool Start Address and End Address.
Click Apply.
The DHCP server also supports pre-assigning IP addresses to be allocated only to specific MAC addresses and reserving IP
addresses to be used by connected hosts with fixed IP addresses. To reserve an IP addresses for a particular host:
Click Add in the Reserved Addresses field.
Enter the Hostname, the Hardware Address (MAC) and the Statically Reserved IP address for the DHCP client.
Click Apply.
When DHCP has initially allocated hosts addresses, we recommend that you copy these into the pre-assigned list so the same IP
address will be reallocated in the event of a reboot.

4.6.3 SELECT FAILOVER OR BROADBAND OOB
The LES1700, LES1516A, LES1532A, LES1548A, and LES1600 console servers provide a failover option, so if there is a problem
using the main LAN connection for accessing the console server; an alternate access path is used.
By default, the failover is not enabled. To enable:
Navigate to System > IP.
Select the Network tab.
Select the Failover Interface to be used if there is a main network outage. This can be:
- an alternate broadband Ethernet connection (for example, the Network/LAN2 port on most models) or
- the LES1700 family internal modem or
- an external serial modem device connected to the LES1700 Console port (for dialing out to an ISP or the remote management
office).
