Network Settings - DHCP Server/NAT Setting
The WAP-250G includes a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server that can assign
temporary IP addresses to wireless clients requesting the service (FIG. 37).
Addresses are assigned to clients from a common address pool configured on the WAP-250G. Configure
an address pool by specifying start and end IP addresses. Be sure not to include the WAP-250G's IP
address in the address pool range.
Network Address Translation (NAT) is a standard method of mapping multiple "internal" IP addresses to
one "external" IP address on devices at the edge of a network. For the WAP-250G, the internal (local) IP
addresses are the IP addresses assigned to wireless clients by the DHCP server, and the external IP
address is the IP address assigned to the Ethernet port. When enabled, the WAP-250G's wireless
interface uses the NAT IP settings to access the Ethernet network.
When the DHCP server is enabled, NAT is also enabled.
The items on this page include:
DHCP Server/NAT Setting
: Enables or disables the DHCP server and NAT on the WAP-
250G. (Default: Enabled)
Start/End IP Address
: Specifies the start/end IP address of a range that the DHCP server can
assign to DHCP clients. You can specify a single address or an address range.
Gateway
: The IP address of the gateway router for the WAP-250G, which is used if the
requested destination address is not on the local subnet.
DNS IP Address
: The IP address of a Domain Name Server on the network. A DNS maps
numerical IP addresses to domain names and can be used to identify network hosts by familiar
names instead of the IP addresses.
