DESCRIPTION

 

IP Pool Start

Enter the IP address from which the ZyWALL begins allocating IP

 

Address

addresses. If you want to assign a static IP address to a specific

 

 

computer, click Add Static DHCP.

 

 

If this field is blank, the Pool Size 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.

 

 

 

 

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

Specify the IP addresses up to three DNS servers for the DHCP clients

 

Server

to use. Use one of the following ways to specify these IP addresses.

 

Second DNS

 

 

Server

Custom Defined - enter a static IP address.

 

Third DNS

 

 

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, Second

server that you want to send to the DHCP clients. The WINS server

 

WINS Server

keeps a mapping table of the computer names on your network and

 

 

 

 

the IP addresses that they are currently using.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

Enable IP/MAC

Select this option to have this interface enforce links between specific

 

Binding

IP addresses and specific MAC addresses. 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

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

 

for IP/MAC

connected to this interface attempts to use an IP address that is

 

Binding

bound to another device’s MAC address.

 

Violation

 

 

 

 

 

 

Static DHCP

Configure a list of static IP addresses the ZyWALL assigns to

 

Table

computers connected to the interface. Otherwise, the ZyWALL assigns

 

 

an IP address dynamically using the interface’s IP Pool Start

 

 

Address and Pool Size.
