DSA-3110 Hotspot Edition – User Manual
DHCP
This page is designed to configure internal DHCP servers of the device.
These servers are used to automatically distribute IP addresses to Hotspot users.
From version 2.4.0 of the firmware, the device can have several DHCP servers (e.g., separate
DHCP servers for LAN1 and LAN2 interfaces).
By default, one DHCP server for LAN1 interface is created in the device.
For every DHCP server you can configure the following:
•
Directly add or remove.
•
Assign a symbolic name.
•
Specify a physical interface of the device to which this DHCP server is assigned.
•
Specify the start and end IPs of the pool of addresses used to distribute DHCP IP addresses
to clients (the
Start address
and
End address
fields).
•
Specify the number of IP addresses in the DHCP pool.
•
Specify the “lifetime” of the leased IP address of the DHCP server, in minutes (the time
period of IP address lease; at the end of this period the IP address is revoked and can be
distributed to another device, unless the previous device has confirmed the need to keep the
address).
•
Specify the DNS (the name server IP address distributed by this DHCP server).
•
Specify the default gateway for this DHCP server (the
Router
field).
•
Specify the IP address for broadcast packets.
To add a new DHCP server, proceed to the
Net > DHCP
page, follow the
Add DHCP
link, and then
enter the settings of the new DHCP server.
