Appendix A CONFIG Commands
DHCP Settings
As a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server, your Cayman Gateway can
assign IP addresses and provide configuration information to other devices on
your network dynamically. A device that acquires its IP address and other TCP/IP
configuration settings from the Cayman Gateway can use the information for a
fixed period of time (called the DHCP lease).
Enables or disables DHCP services in the Cayman Gateway. You must enable
DHCP services before you can enter other DHCP settings for the Cayman Gate-
way.
If you turn off DHCP services and save the new configuration, the Cayman Gate-
way clears its DHCP settings.
If you selected server , specifies the first address in the DHCP address range.
The Cayman Gateway can reserve a sequence of up to 253 IP addresses within a
subnet, beginning with the specified address for dynamic assignment.
If you selected server, specifies the last address in the DHCP address range.
If you selected server , specifies the default length for DHCP leases issued by
the Cayman Gateway. Enter lease time in dd:hh:mm:ss (day/hour/minute/sec-
ond) format.
If you selected relay-agent, specifies the IP address in the remote DHCP server
to which your Cayman Gateway relays DHCP requests.
