Performing Advanced Configuration

DHCP Server

If your network does not have a DHCP Server, you can configure the AP as a DHCP server to assign dynamic IP
addresses to Ethernet nodes and wireless clients.

CAUTION

!

Make sure there are no other DHCP servers on the network and do not enable the DHCP server without
checking with your network administrator first, as it could bring down the whole network. Also, the AP must be
configured with a static IP address before enabling this feature.

When the DHCP Server functionality is enabled, you can create one or more IP address pools from which to assign
addresses to network devices.
