settings, continue to the next section.
DHCP Server Settings
DHCP Server
When this setting is enabled, the Peplink Balance’s DHCP server automatically assigns an
IP address to each computer that is connected via LAN and configured to obtain an IP
address via DHCP. The Peplink Balance’s DHCP server can prevent IP address collisions
on the LAN.
DHCP Server
Logging
Check this box to log DHCP server activity.
IP Range &
Subnet Mask
These settings allocate a range of IP addresses that will be assigned to LAN computers by
the Peplink Balance’s DHCP server.
Lease Time
This setting specifies the length of time throughout which an IP address of a DHCP client
remains valid. Upon expiration of Lease Time, the assigned IP address will no longer be
valid and the IP address assignment must be renewed.
DNS Servers
This option allows you to input the DNS server addresses to be offered to DHCP clients. If
Assign DNS server automatically is selected, the Peplink Balance’s built-in DNS server
address (i.e., LAN IP address) will be offered.
WINS Server
This option allows you to specify the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server. You
may choose to use the built-in WINS server or external WINS servers.
When this unit is connected using SpeedFusion
TM , other VPN peers can share this unit's
built-in WINS server by entering this unit's LAN IP address in their DHCP WINS Servers
setting. Therefore, all PC clients in the VPN can resolve the NetBIOS names of other clients
in remote peers. If you have enabled this option, a list of WINS clients will be displayed at
Status>WINS Clients.
BOOTP
Check this box to enable BOOTP on older networks that still require it.
