13.6 IP Configuration of Client Devices
The VAP interfaces allow client devices to connect to the EL-500. The client devices can be
assigned their IP configuration in one of three ways when the EL-500 is operating in routed
mode:
•
Via DHCP from a centralized server
•
Via DHCP from a local server on the EL-500 that the client device is connected to
•
Be manually configured
When the EL-500 is operating in bridge mode, the client device IP address requirements will
depend on the settings for the LAN that the EL-500 is connected to.
13.6.1
IP Configuration of Clients Devices via DHCP
The EL-500 can be set to serve IP addresses to client devices on the VAP interfaces using
DHCP. DHCP-provided addresses can be served either from a local server on the EL-500 or
from an external server. The two DHCP modes are described in detail in section 14.
13.6.2
Manual IP Configuration of Client Devices
In routed mode with centralized DHCP server mode disabled, client devices that use static IP
addresses must have an IP address that is within the subnet of the VAP interface that they
connect to. See section 14.2.1 for information on using static IP addresses for client devices
with centralized DHCP server mode enabled.
When operating in bridge mode, the client devices IP configuration requirements will depend
on the network settings for the LAN that the EL-500 is connected to.
