4.4.2 DHCP Server

Press

“More>>”

The settings of a TCP/IP environment include host IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS

configurations. It is not easy to manually configure all the computers and devices in your

network. Fortunately, DHCP Server provides a rather simple approach to handle all these

settings. This product supports the function of DHCP server. If you enable this product’s

DHCP server and configure your computers as “automatic IP allocation” mode, then when

24

your computer is powered on, it will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings from this

product. The settings of DHCP server include the following items:

1.

DHCP Server

: Choose “Disable” or “Enable.”

2.

Lease Time:

this feature allows you to configure IP’s lease time (DHCP client).

3.

IP pool starting Address/ IP pool starting Address

: Whenever there is a

request, the DHCP server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP

address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending

address of the IP address pool.

4.

Domain Name

: Optional, this information will be passed to the client.

5.

Primary DNS/Secondary DNS

: This feature allows you to assign DNS Servers

6.

Primary WINS/Secondary WINS

4.5 Advanced Settings

4.5.1 Virtual Server

This product’s NAT firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect your Intranet, so all

hosts behind this product are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some

of them accessible by enabling the Virtual Server Mapping.

A virtual server is defined as a Service Port, and all requests to this port will be redirected to

the computer specified by the Server IP.

Virtual Server can work with Scheduling Rules, and

give user more flexibility on Access control. For Detail, please refer to Scheduling Rule.

For example, if you have an FTP server (port 21) at 192.168.123.1, a Web server (port 80)

at 192.168.123.2, and a VPN server at 192.168.123.6, then you need to specify the following

virtual server mapping table:

Service Port

Server IP

192.168.123.1

80

192.168.123.2
