Chapter 4 Using the Command-Line Interface for Quick Configuration
Configuring the Public Interface
At the prompt, enter the number of minutes for the DHCP lease period, or press Enter to accept the
default, 120 minutes, and continue with quick configuration.
Step 8
The DHCP pool is the range of IP addresses that this DHCP server can assign. The default address pool
is 127 IP addresses, and the start of the range is the next IP address after that of the private interface.
You can configure another range of IP addresses for the pool, but in no case can the pool have more than
127 addresses.
To configure the DHCP address pool, at the prompt enter
3 Set DHCP Pool
. The system displays the
DHCP Pool Start field.
Quick -> 3
> DHCP Pool Start
Quick -> [ 192.168.10.2 ]
Enter the IP address you want as the starting address in the pool, using dotted decimal notation, or
accept the default (in brackets), and press Enter.
The System displays the DHCP Pool End field.
> DHCP Pool End
Quick -> [ 192.168.10.128 ]
Enter the IP address you want as the starting address in the pool, using dotted decimal notation, or
accept the default (in brackets), and press Enter.
Step 9
The System redisplays the list of DHCP parameters.
1) Enable/Disable DHCP
2) Set DHCP Lease Timeout
3) Set DHCP Pool
4) Back
5) Continue
Quick ->
To revisit DHCP parameters, enter the number for the parameter you want. Click Back to revisit
earlier sections of quick configuration, or click Continue to proceed. We assume that you want to
continue.
Configuring the Public Interface
Next you set the system name, and configure a way for the public interface to obtain an IP address using
DHCP, PPPoE, or static addressing. The system displays the tasks involved, and also displays current
values, if any. Be aware that many ISPs require a system name or hostname if you use DHCP to obtain
an IP address.
See the sections that follow for more information about DHCP, PPPoE, and static addressing.
