Reserve IP addresses for specific hosts
You can configure the MAX reserve IP addresses for the exclusive use of as many as three
hosts, identified by their MAC addresses. Proceed as follows:
1To reserve an IP address for a particular host, set the Host 1 IP parameter to the IP address
to be reserved for the host.
2Set the Host 1 Enet parameter to the MAC (Ethernet) address of the host. The MAC
address is normally the Ethernet address of the network interface card that the host uses to
connect to the Local Area Network. When the DHCP server receives an IP-address
request from the host with this MAC address, it assigns that host the IP address you
specified for the Host 1 IP parameter.
3To reserve an IP address for another host, set the Host 2 IP parameter to the IP address to
be reserved for the host, and set the Host 2 Enet parameter to the MAC (Ethernet) address
of the host.
4To reserve an IP address for another host, set the Host 3 IP parameter to the IP address to
be reserved for the host, and set the Host 3 Enet parameter to the MAC (Ethernet) address
of the host.
Final DHCP settings
Additional settings you might choose to include specify the IP address longevity and whether
to advertise the MAX unit’s address as the default router for DHCP request packets.
The Renewal Time parameter specifies how long a DHCP IP address exists before it needs to
be renewed. The setting applies to both DHCP spoofed addresses and DHCP server replies. If
the host renews the address before it expires, the MAX provides the same address. Plug and
Play addresses always expire in 60 seconds.
To advertise the address of your MAX as the default router for all DHCP request packets,
enable the Become Def Router parameter.
