Ping Packets
Enter a number between 2 and 10 to denote the number of ping packets that the Switch will send

IP address is considered unique to the local network and then allotted to the requesting client. The

out a ping packet. The default setting is 500 milliseconds.
Click Apply to implement changes made.

of IP addresses that the Switch will allot to clients requesting DHCP service. To set an IP address or range of IP addresses, enter
the Begin Address of the range and then the End Address of the range and click Apply. Set address ranges will appear in the
