functioning with multiple DHCP client identities, the values of IAID have to start at 1 for the
first identity and be incremented for each subsequent identity. For example, the device may
use IAID value 1 for the first physical interface and value 2 for the second. Alternatively, the
device may use IAID value 1 for the virtual circuit corresponding to the first connection
object in the data model and value 2 for the second connection object in the data model.

Option 61 DUID: Specifies the name of the interface whose link-layer address the server is

to use as its DUID (DHCP Unique Identifier). You must enter a value for this parameter or
the server will not start. When the server starts, the DUID is written to the system log.

handling classes of devices in a certain way without requiring DHCP server to be able to
parse the unique format used in client-identifier option.

Enable NAT: This technology translates the IP addresses of a local area network to a

different IP address for the Internet. If this Router is hosting your network’s connection to the
Internet, please select the check box. If another Router exists in your network, you don’t need
to select the option.

Enable SPI Firewall: A SPI firewall enhances network’s security. Select the option to use a

firewall, or else without a firewall.

Enable IGMP Multicast: This is disabled by default. This setting will not allow IGMP (Internet

Group Management Protocol) packets to be forwarded to the LAN. IGMP is used to manage
multicasting on TCP/IP networks. Most users will not need to enable this. Some ISPs use
IGMP to perform remote configuration for client devices, such as the Router. If you are unsure,
check with your ISP.
