Multi Service Border Gateway User Manual for NexusWay 800 Series
4-1-4 DHCP Server
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol for dynamically assigning IP
addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addresses, a device may have different IP
addresses every time it connects to the network.
The NexusWay 800 provides a DHCP service to assign IP address to internal PCs. You can
enable or disable DHCP service and set-up other configurations with this option.
Enabling the DHCP server allows the NexusWay 800 to assign IP addresses to internal PCs
(DHCP clients) or other devices on the network (by default with Windows Systems, DHCP
clients can get the IP address automatically from the server). If you have already a DHCP
server in your internal network, do not configure this feature for LAN Ports.
Offered IP Range
Enter an IP Address Range to be assigned by the NexusWay 800's DHCP server with the first
IP in the left column and last one in the right column to activate the service. The entered IP
range, which also determines the number of supported DHCP clients, must match up with your
LAN’s subnet.
Gateway
Enter a default gateway IP address. This IP must be one of the LAN IP’s of the NexusWay 800.
Subnet Mask
The default subnet mask address of your LAN must be entered in this column.
