Text Description
Enable DHCP server
Select this checkbox to enable the DHCP
server.
Note: If you already have a DHCP server on
your network, you should disable this feature in
the Ericsson W3x.
IP address range
from:
IP address range to:
The IP addresses that can be assigned to
LAN/WLAN clients are collected from a
predefined range of available IP addresses.
The preconfigured range – from 92.168.1.2 to
192.168.1.100 is suitable for most local
networks.
Lease Time [sec]:
The DHCP server uses the concept of a
“lease”, that is the amount of time that a given
IP address will be valid for a specific device. If
the lease time expires and the device is still
connected, the lease is automatically renewed.
The preconfigured lease time is 7200 seconds
(2 hours) and a valid value must be within the
range 60 and 2147483647 seconds.
Note: If you want to configure a connected device with a static IP
address, make sure that the address is outside the DHCP server IP
address range.
Before changing any of the DHCP server settings, read the following:
The DHCP server IP address range has to be on the same subnet as
the LAN IP address on the Ericsson W3x.
The DHCP server IP address range must not include the LAN IP
address on the Ericsson W3x.
If port forwarding rules have been created, those settings have to be
removed before changing the DHCP server IP address range. For
more information, see section 3.7.3 – Port Forwarding.
To change the DHCP server settings, type the new values in the
corresponding fields and click Apply to save the settings.
