clients connected to the VMM (with the enabled DHCP server).

The IP address range should reflect the number of clients plus one, attached to the VMM via hub or other connection. The first IP address will be used by the DHCP server itself.

7Provide a DHCP End IP address. This is the last IP address to end the range of addresses begun with the IP address specified in the DHCP Start IP field.

8Enter a CIDR value (in bits), reflecting the desired network type.

9Enter a DHCP Lease Time appropriate for your network.

10Enter a DHCP Default Suffix.

Depending on the way that your network is setup, this field is optional. The value entered here will be handed out by the DHCP server and used by client devices for name resolution.

11Enter a Default Gateway address.

12Enter a Domain Name Server address, if one exists.

The procedure below describes how to access the VMM device web page.

Procedure 3-2 Accessing the VMM Device Administration Web Interface

1Find the IP address assigned to the VMM SBC prior to accessing the device administration web interface.

You can use MeshManager’s Device Manager to access the VMM SBC IP address. To do this, double- click on the VMM in MeshManager’s Device Tree, and then view the resulting SBC IP address information shown in the right pane.

Note that by default, the device’s addressing mode will be set to Network DHCP.

If a fixed address was provided by the Network Operator in MeshManager, then that IP address will be used by the VMM instead of the derived address when the Statically Provisioned option is in effect.

Alternatively, the web page can be accessed by attaching to the device’s Ethernet port, configured for DHCP.
