DESCRIPTION

 

Pool Size

Enter the number of IP addresses to allocate. This number must be at least one and is

 

 

limited by the interface’s Subnet Mask. For example, if the Subnet Mask is

 

 

255.255.255.0 and IP Pool Start Address is 10.10.10.10, the ZyWALL can allocate

 

 

10.10.10.10 to 10.10.10.254, or 245 IP addresses.

 

 

If this field is blank, the IP Pool Start Address must also be blank. In this case, the

 

 

ZyWALL can assign every IP address allowed by the interface’s IP address and subnet

 

 

mask, except for the first address (network address), last address (broadcast address)

 

 

and the interface’s IP address.

 

 

 

 

First DNS Server

Specify the IP addresses up to three DNS servers for the DHCP clients to use. Use one

 

Second DNS

of the following ways to specify these IP addresses.

 

Server

 

 

Third DNS

Custom Defined - enter a static IP address.

 

Server

 

 

 

 

From ISP - select the DNS server that another interface received from its DHCP server.

 

 

ZyWALL - the DHCP clients use the IP address of this interface and the ZyWALL works

 

 

as a DNS relay.

 

 

 

 

First WINS

Type the IP address of the WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) server that you

 

Server, Second

want to send to the DHCP clients. The WINS server keeps a mapping table of the

 

WINS Server

computer names on your network and the IP addresses that they are currently using.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Default Router

If you set this interface to DHCP Server, you can select to use either the interface’s IP

 

 

address or another IP address as the default router. This default router will become the

 

 

DHCP clients’ default gateway.

 

 

To use another IP address as the default router, select Custom Defined and enter the

 

 

IP address.

 

 

 

 

Lease time

Specify how long each computer can use the information (especially the IP address)

 

 

before it has to request the information again. Choices are:

 

 

infinite - select this if IP addresses never expire

 

 

days, hours, and minutes - select this to enter how long IP addresses are valid.

 

 

 

 

Extended

This table is available if you selected DHCP server.

 

Options

Configure this table if you want to send more information to DHCP clients through

 

 

 

 

DHCP packets.

This is the option’s type.

 

 

 

 

Value

Enable IP/MAC

Select this option to have the ZyWALL enforce links between specific IP addresses and

 

Binding

specific MAC addresses for this VLAN. This stops anyone else from manually using a

 

 

bound IP address on another device connected to this interface. Use this to make use

 

 

only the intended users get to use specific IP addresses.

 

 

 

 

Enable Logs for

Select this option to have the ZyWALL generate a log if a device connected to this VLAN

 

IP/MAC Binding

attempts to use an IP address that is bound to another device’s MAC address.

 

Violation

 

 

Static DHCP

Configure a list of static IP addresses the ZyWALL assigns to computers connected to

 

Table

the interface. Otherwise, the ZyWALL assigns an IP address dynamically using the

 

 

interface’s IP Pool Start Address and Pool Size.
