Description
IP Address Setup
IP Address
LAN interface IP address of the wireless controller.
Subnet Mask
The factory default: 255.255.255.0.
DHCP Setup
DHCP Mode
There are three DHCP modes to choose from:
• None: the controller’s DHCP server is disabled for the LAN.
• DHCP Server: With this option the controller assigns an IP address within the
specified range plus additional specified information to any LAN device that
requests DHCP served addresses.
• DHCP Relay: With this option enabled, DHCP clients on the LAN can receive IP
address leases and corresponding information from a DHCP server on a different
subnet. Specify the Relay Gateway, and when LAN clients make a DHCP request it
will be passed along to the server accessible via the Relay Gateway IP address.
Domain Name
Enter a domain name for LAN configuration.
Lease Time
If DHCP mode = DHCP Server, enter the duration (in hours) for which the IP addresses
will be leased to clients.
Configure DNS/WINS
Toggle it to ON to enable the DNS/WINS.
Primary DNS Server
Enter the primary DNS Server IP.
Secondary DNS Server
Enter the secondary DNS Server IP.
WINS Server
Enter the WINS server IP (optional). The Windows Internet Naming Service is equivalent
to the DNS Server but uses NetBIOS protocol to resolve the hostnames. If the network
consists only of Windows based computers and you would like to use a WINS server for
name resolution, enter the IP address in the DHCP configuration when acknowledging
a DHCP request from a DHCP client.
Default Gateway
If DHCP mode = DHCP Server: Enter the default gateway for the DHCP server mode.
Gateway
If DHCP mode= DHCP Relay. Enter the relay gateway address.
DNS Host Name Mapping
Host Name
Enter a DNS host name.
IP Address
Enter the IP address assigned to the DNS host name. The DNS Host Name Mapping is
used to assign a specific IP address to a domain name. We can use this domain name
instead of IP address to access that particular host.
