Enable STP: The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a network protocol that ensures a loop‐free topology for
Ethernet networks. The basic function of STP is to prevent bridge loops and the broadcast radiation that
results from them. Even if you don’t think you will be running into a situation where loops may be created
in your network, activating this option is still considered best practice.
Interface: This are the interfaces of your Intellinet access point. By default you will only see the two
“physical” interfaces, which are the LAN port eth0 and the Wi‐Fi radio “Intellinet300NPoE”. If you have
added other interfaces, they, too, will show up in this section.
The Firewall Settings do not apply to the function of the Intellinet access point. The default setting is
“lan”.
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a standardized network protocol used on Internet
Protocol (IP) networks for dynamically distributing network configuration parameters, such as IP
addresses for interfaces and services. With DHCP, computers request IP addresses and networking
parameters automatically from a DHCP server, reducing the need for a network administrator or a user to
configure these settings manually. The most common example of a DHCP server is a router, which
connects local network clients to the Internet.
Ignore interface: Enable or disable this option to activate or deactivate the DHCP service for the interface.
If you enable DHCP, then you need to provide three additional parameters:
1. Start:
What is the lowest IP address of the block of IP addresses the DHCP will hand out.
