7.2.2 Port Settings
To configure port settings, navigate to Network > LAN > Port Settings.
On this screen, you can configure the name of the LAN port and enable or disable a specific
port.
Enable logging of DHCP events in the eventlog by selecting the checkbox.
These settings allocate a range of IP addresses that will be assigned to LAN computers
by the Pepwave router’s DHCP server.
This setting specifies the length of time throughout which an IP address of a DHCP
client remains valid. Upon expiration of the lease time, the assigned IP address will no
longer be valid and renewal of the IP address assignment will be required.
This option allows you to input the DNS server addresses to be offered to DHCP clients.
If Assign DNS server automatically is selected, the Pepwave router’s built-in DNS
server address (i.e. LAN IP address) will be offered.
Check this box to enable BOOTP on older networks that still require it.
In addition to standard DHCP options (e.g., DNS server address, gateway address,
subnet mask), you can specify the value of additional extended DHCP options, as
defined in RFC 2132. With these extended options enabled, you can pass additional
configuration information to LAN hosts.
To define an extended DHCP option, click the Add button, choose the option to define,
and then enter its value. For values that are in IP address list format, you can enter one
IP address per line in the provided text area input control. Each option can be defined
once only.
This setting reserves the assignment of fixed IP addresses for a list of computers on the
LAN. The computers to be assigned fixed IP addresses on the LAN are identified by
their MAC addresses. The fixed IP address assignment is displayed as a
cross-reference list between the computers’ names, MAC addresses, and fixed IP
addresses.
Name (an optional field) allows you to specify a name to represent the device. MAC
addresses should be in the format of 00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE. Click on to create a
new record. Click on to remove a record. Reserved clients information can be
imported from the Client List, located at Status > Client List.
