include Disable DHCP option, Enable built-in DHCP server or DHCP Relay.
-
DHCP Server Configuration – The default setting for DHCP Server is “Enable”. Select other options
from the drop-down list.

Define the IP range for issuing when using Enable DHCP Server (built-in). There are a total of six DHCP
pools for configuration.

Lease Time at each pool cannot be smaller than the twice value of Idle Timeout.
-
Reserving IP addresses – A configuration list for reserving certain IP’s within the DHCP Server IP range
for specific devices, for example an internal file server.
-
DHCP lease protection – This is an optional checking mechanism on the Controller when Enabled, will
check to see if the lease expired IP is currently online. If yes, the Controller will halt the issuing of this
IP address until the user session terminates.
