DHCP Server | • DHCP Server Setup - If enabled, the VPN 800/2 Firewall Router will |
Configuration | allocate IP Addresses to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they |
| start up. The default and recommended value is "Enable". (Windows |
| systems, by default, act as DHCP clients. This setting is called Obtain an |
| IP address automatically.) |
| • DHCP Server Setup - If you are already using a DHCP Server, the |
| DHCP Server setting must be disabled, and the existing DHCP server |
| must be set to provide the IP address of the VPN 800/2 Firewall Router |
| as the Default Gateway. |
| • Client Lease Time – It is a finite period of time for a DHCP server lease |
| an IP address to a client. |
| • Client Default DNS – An IP address of the default DNS server for the |
| client requesting DHCP service. |
|
|
DHCP IP Address | • Offered Range fields set the values used by the DHCP server when |
Range | allocating IP Addresses to DHCP clients. This range also determines the |
| number of DHCP clients supported. |
| • Free Entries indicates how many DHCP entries are not currently |
| allocated, and still available. |
ARP Proxy | Enable this ONLY if the LAN port has an IP address in the same address |
| range as the WAN port(s). This means that all PCs using this Gateway must |
| have valid fixed external (Internet) IP addresses. |
| If enabled, enter the IP address range used on your LAN. |
|
|
LAN Any IP Setup | By default is disabled. If you enable “LAN any IP”, that means no matter what |
| static IP address hold on the client (your PC). The clients do not need to |
| change the IP address, even though it has different IP segment than LAN |
| segment, it still can access Internet through NAT. |
DHCP Client List | This table shows the IP addresses which have been allocated by the DHCP |
| Server function. For each address, which has been allocated, the following |
| information is shown. |
| • Name – The "hostname" of the PC. In some cases, this may not be |
| known. |
| • MAC Address – The physical address (network adapter address) of the |
| PC. |
| • IP Address – The IP address allocated to this PC. |
| • Type – Indicates IP address to be dynamic or static. |
| • Status – If Dynamic, the IP address was allocated by this DHCP Server. |
| If Sniffed, the IP address was detected by examining the LAN, rather than |
| allocated by the DHCP Server. In this case, the Name is usually not |
| known. |
| • Time Left – The time expired since which IP address is leased. |
