Table 11. Add VLAN Profile screen settings (continued)

Setting

Description

 

 

 

Enable DHCP Server

Select the Enable DHCP Server radio button to enable the wireless VPN firewall

 

to function as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, providing

 

TCP/IP configuration for all computers connected to the VLAN. (For the default

 

VLAN, the DHCP server is enabled by default.) Enter the following settings:

 

 

 

 

Domain Name

This setting is optional. Enter the domain name of the

 

 

wireless VPN firewall.

 

 

 

 

Start IP Address

Enter the start IP address. This address specifies the first of

 

 

the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool. Any new

 

 

DHCP client joining the LAN is assigned an IP address

 

 

between this address and the end IP address. For the default

 

 

VLAN, the default start IP address is 192.168.1.100.

 

 

 

 

End IP Address

Enter the end IP address. This address specifies the last of

 

 

the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool. Any new

 

 

DHCP client joining the LAN is assigned an IP address

 

 

between the start IP address and this IP address. For the

 

 

default VLAN, the default end IP address is 192.168.1.254.

 

 

The start and end DHCP IP addresses should be in the same

 

 

network as the LAN IP address of the wireless VPN firewall

 

 

(that is, the IP address in the IP Setup section as described

 

 

earlier in this table).

 

 

 

 

Primary DNS

This setting is optional. If an IP address is specified, the

 

Server

wireless VPN firewall provides this address as the primary

 

 

DNS server IP address. If no address is specified, the

 

 

wireless VPN firewall uses the VLAN IP address as the

 

 

primary DNS server IP address.

 

 

 

 

Secondary DNS

This setting is optional. If an IP address is specified, the

 

Server

wireless VPN firewall provides this address as the secondary

 

 

DNS server IP address.

 

 

 

 

WINS Server

This setting is optional. Enter a WINS server IP address to

 

 

specify the Windows NetBIOS server, if one is present in your

 

 

network.

 

 

 

 

Lease Time

Enter a lease time. This specifies the duration for which IP

 

 

addresses are leased to clients.

DHCP Relay

To use the wireless VPN firewall as a DHCP relay agent for a DHCP server

 

somewhere else in your network, select the DHCP Relay radio button. Enter the

 

following setting:

 

 

Relay Gateway

The IP address of the DHCP server for which the wireless

 

 

VPN firewall serves as a relay.
