2. Limit
How many IP addresses are being handed out by the DHCP server.
3. Lease Time
Specify the lease time for each of the IP addresses given out to network clients. Possible values range
from “2m” (two minutes) to a very high number of hours, for example “8760h”, which is as much as one
year.
Example: If you want to set up the Intellinet access point to act as a DHCP server and provide IP addresses
for clients in range of 192.168.2.180 – 192.168.2.200, which are valid for one week, then you would set
up the parameters as shown below:
The advanced settings for the DHCP server are best to be left alone, unless you know exactly what you are
doing.
Parameter
Description
Dynamic DHCP
Dynamically allocate DHCP addresses for clients. If disabled, only clients with
static leases will be served. A static lease, also referre3d to as static DHCP, is
the process, where a certain IP address is reserved for a certain network client
by means of assigning the IP address to that client’s MAC address.
Force
Force DHCP on this network even if another server is detected.
IPv4‐Netmask
If specified, the Intellinet access point will provide this network mask to all
clients. Normally it is calculated from the subnet that is served, but this
option, when activated, overrides the netmask sent to clients.
DHCP‐Options
This field can be used for any number of things. The Bootstrap Protocol
(BOOTP) knows a number of DHCP related parameters. Refer to the ‘Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP)
