following table describes the DHCP configuration parameters in detail.
Table 6.2 DHCP Configuration Parameters
IP Address Pool Begin/End
Specify the lowest and highest addresses in the DHCP address pool.
Lease Time
The amount of time the assigned address will be used by a device
connected on the LAN.
Default Gateway IP Address
The address of the default gateway for computers that receive IP addresses
from this pool. The default gateway is the IP address that the computers first
contact to communicate with the Internet. Typically, it is SL6000/SL6300’s
LAN port IP address.
DNS Server IP Address
The IP address of the Domain Name System server to be used by computers
that receive IP addresses from this pool. The DNS server translates common
Internet names that you type into your web browser into their equivalent
numeric IP addresses. Typically, the server(s) are located with your ISP.
However, you may enter LAN IP address here as SL6000/SL6300 will serve
as DNS proxy for the LAN computers and forward the DNS request from the
LAN to DNS servers and relay the results back to the LAN computers.
WINS Server IP Address (optional)
The WINS server IP address to be used by computers that receive IP
addresses from the DHCP IP address pool. You don’t need to enter this
information unless your network has a WINS server.
4. Click [Apply] to save the DHCP server configurations.
NOTE: If you change the LAN IP address and subnet mask, the DHCP
Server Pool will be automatically configured to fall into the same
subnet as the new LAN IP address.
