5.5.1 DHCP

Overview The DHCP web page offers three tabs to configure the SpeedTouch™ 's DHCP functionality:

DHCP Server:

To configure the general behaviour of the SpeedTouch™ 's DHCP server.

DHCP Relay:

To configure the SpeedTouch™ DHCP relay.

DHCP Client:

To configure the SpeedTouch™ DHCP client.

DHCP Server The DHCP server configuration is split up in three sections:

Server Config:

To configure the SpeedTouch™ DHCP server ‘master’ settings and behaviour.

Server Leases:

To overview current the SpeedTouch™ DHCP server's current leases, and/or add/delete static DHCP lease entries.

Address Pools:

To overview and add/delete DHCP address pools for the SpeedTouch™ DHCP server.

As mentioned before, the SpeedTouch™ DHCP server - configuring local network hosts - can be run in conjunction with one or more SpeedTouch™ DHCP clients or SpeedTouch™ DHCP Relay agents, each created on behalf of a wide area connection. I.e. for WAN interfaces the SpeedTouch™ offers DHCP client, or DHCP relay support to configure MAC Encapsulated Routing (MER) or Routed IPoA interfaces independently.

Server Config Following fields are available:

Activate server:

Select this check box to enable the SpeedTouch™ DHCP server.

Activate verify first:

Select this check box to enable IP address conflict network probing before handing out an address to a client.

Activate trust client:

Select this check box if you want the SpeedTouch™ to take the IP address suggested by a DHCP client into account.
