Chapter 4: Tab and link elements defined

The server configuration determines the functionality of the DHCP settings. This

functionality enables the Gateway to assign the LAN computer(s) a "private" IP address

and other parameters that allow network communication. This feature simplifies network

administration because the Gateway maintains a list of IP address assignments. Additional

computers can be added to the LAN without the need to configure an IP address. This is the

default mode.
Reference the subsections that follow for field definitions.

Private LAN Subnet

■

Gateway IPv4 Address:

The IP address of the device as seen from the LAN.

■

Subnet Mask:

The subnet portion of the IP addresses on the private LAN subnet.

DNS Proxy

■

DNS Proxy Enable:

When enabled, the gateway will be the DNS server to LAN clients.

DHCP Server

The Start and End addresses must be in the same subnet as the Gateway IPv4 Address value.

■

DHCP Server Enable:

Specifies if the Gateway hands out leases to LAN-side clients.

■

DHCPv4 Start Address:

First IP address in the range being served to LAN clients by the

Gateway DHCP server.

■

DHCPv4 End Address:

Last IP address in the range being served to LAN clients by the

Gateway DHCP server.
