NOTE Motorola recommends the WAN and LAN ports should not both be
configured as DHCP clients.
This interface is a
DHCP Client Select this button to enable DHCP to set network address
information via this LAN1 or LAN2 connection. This is
recommended if the access point resides within a large corporate
network or the
Internet Service Provider (ISP) uses DHCP. This
setting is enabled for LAN1 by default.
DHCP is a protocol that includes mechanisms for IP address
allocation and delivery of host-specific configuration parameters
from a DHCP server to a host. If DHCP Client is selected, the first
DHCP or BOOTP server to respond sets the IP address and network
address values since DHCP and BOOTP are interoperable.
This interface is a
BOOTP Client Select this button to enable BOOTP to set access point network
address information via this LAN1 or LAN2 connection.
When selected, only BOOTP responses are accepted by the access
point. If both DHCP and BOOTP services are required, do not select
BOOTP Client.

Address Assignment
Range Use the address assignment parameter to specify a range of
numerical (non DNS name) IP addresses reserved for mapping
client MAC addresses to IP addresses. If a manually (static)
mapped IP address is within the IP address range specified, that IP
address could still be assigned to another client. To avoid this,
ensure all statically mapped IP addresses are outside of the IP
address range assigned to the DHCP server.
