Asante Technologies VR2004 Series user manual Virtual Server Settings, IP Address Pool Range

Page 28

IP Address Pool Range

This pool contains the range of IP addresses that will automatically be assigned to the clients on your network. The default setting is 192.168.123.2 to 192.168.123.100. Increase the range if you have more than 98 computers on your network.

IP Address Reservation

You can configure client computers with static addresses outside the range of the router’s DHCP server, or use this option to provide fixed (static) IP addresses to devices on your network, such as printers or computers. If they are in the reservation table, they will be guaranteed the same IP address each time they connect to the router.

•MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the device or computer

•IP Address: Enter the IP address that you want to reserve

3.2Virtual Server Settings

*This feature should only be used by users with an extensive knowledge of TCP/IP.

One of the more powerful features of the router is the Virtual Server feature. For a small business with two or more Internet servers, the router can balance the workload between multiple machines. For example, if your network server is overloaded, you can delegate specific network services to two or more machines. For example, if you had three servers, you could dedicate one server to handle each of these services:

•Port 80 (HTTP) web server

•Port 53 (DNS) name server

•Port 500 (VPN) direct connection to virtual private network

Of course each server must have the appropriate software installed to handle the specific service.
