Network

Advanced

Default TTL (Time to Live): Time to Live (TTL) is a field in an IP packet that specifies how long in seconds the packet can remain active on the network. The Access Point uses the default TTL for packets it generates for which the transport layer protocol does not specify a TTL value. This parameter supports a range from 0 to 65535. By default, TTL is 64.

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 con- figured 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.
