For detailed information about each parameter, see the MAX Reference.
Set each parameter according to the function it provides, as follows:
1 Set the DHCP Spoofing parameter to Yes to enable any DHCP service. If you set it to No,
other settings in this menu are ignored.
2 Set the DHCP PNP Enabled parameter to Yes to enable Plug and Play. Setting this
parameter to Yes and DHCP Spoofing to Yes enables Plug and Play support.
3 Set the Renewal Time parameter to specify how long a DHCP IP address lives before it
needs to be renewed. This value applies to both DHCP spoofed addresses and DHCP
server replies. If the host renews the address before it expires, the MAX unit provides the
same address. Plug and Play addresses always expire in 60 seconds.
4 The Become Default Router parameter is an option you can set to advertise the address of
your unit as the default router for all DHCP request packets.
5 The Dial If Link Down parameter is used with DHCP spoofing in conjunction with
BOOTP Relay. This parameter applies when both DHCP spoofing and BOOTP relay are
enabled. If no WAN links are active, the unit performs DHCP spoofing. If the parameter is
set to Yes, as soon as the dialed link is established, the unit stops DHCP spoofing and acts
as a BOOTP relay agent.
6 Set the Always Spoof parameter to Yes or No, to enable either the DHCP server or DHCP
spoofing:
– Yes enables the DHCP server. A DHCP server always supplies an IP address for
every request, until all IP addresses are exhausted.
– No enables DHCP spoofing. DHCP spoofing only supplies an IP address for a single
host on the network. It does not respond to all requests.
7 Set the Validate IP parameter to Yes to check on whether a spoofed address that is about to
be assigned is already in use, and if it is, automatically assign another address.
8 Set the Maximum No-Reply Wait parameter only if you are validating IP addresses. To
validate the IP address, DHCP sends an ICMP echo (Ping) to determine whether the
address is in use. The maximum time it waits for a reply depends on this setting. The
default is 10 seconds.
9 To assign IP addresses dynamically, set the IP Group 1 parameter to the first address for
the IP address pool.
10 Set the Group 1 Count parameter to the number of addresses in the pool. The pool can
contain up to 20 addresses.
