Configuring Static DHCP

You can configure your router to assign a specific IP address to a client device

with a specific MAC address.

To configure static DHCP:

STEP 1

Choose

Networking

>

LAN

>

Static DHCP

.

STEP

2

From the

VLAN

drop-down menu, choose a VLAN number.

STEP

3

Click

.

STEP

Enter the following information:

To edit the settings of a static DHCP client, select the client and click

Edit

. To

delete a selected DHCP client, click

. Click

to apply the changes.

Description

Description of the client.

IP Address

IP address you want assigned to the client device. The IP

address assigned should be outside the pool of the DHCP

addresses.

Static DHCP assignment means the DHCP server assigns

the same IP address to a defined MAC address every time

the client device is connected to the network.

The DHCP server assigns the reserved IP address when

the client device using the corresponding MAC address

requests an IP address.

MAC Address

MAC address of the client device.

The format for a MAC address is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

where X is a number from 0 to 9 (inclusive) or a letter

between A and F (inclusive).

Viewing DHCP Leased Clients

You can view a list of endpoints on the network (identified by hostname, IP

address, or MAC address) and see the IP addresses assigned to them by the

DHCP server. The VLAN of the endpoints is also displayed.

To view the DHCP clients, choose

Networking

>

LAN

>

DHCP Leased Client

.

For every VLAN defined on the device, a table displays a list of the clients

associated with the VLAN.

To assign a static IP address to one of the connected devices:

STEP 1

In the row of the connected device, check Add to Static DHCP.

STEP

2

Click

Save

.

The DHCP server on the device always assigns the IP address shown when the

device requests an IP address.

Configuring a DMZ Host

Your device supports demilitarized zones (DMZ). A DMZ is a subnetwork that is

open to the public but behind the firewall. A DMZ allows you to redirect packets

going to your WAN port IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN.

We recommended that you place hosts that must be exposed to the WAN (such as

web or e-mail servers) in the DMZ network. You can configure firewall rules to

allow access to specific services and ports in the DMZ from both the LAN or WAN.

In the event of an attack on any of the DMZ nodes, the LAN is not necessarily

vulnerable.

You must configure a fixed (static) IP address for the endpoint that you designate

as the DMZ host. You should assign the DMZ host an IP address in the same

subnet as the device LAN IP address, but it cannot be identical to the IP address

given to the LAN interface of this gateway.

To configure DMZ:

STEP 1

Choose

Networking

>

LAN

>

DMZ Host

.

STEP

2

Check

Enable

to enable DMZ on the network.

From the

VLAN

drop-down menu, choose the ID of the VLAN where DMZ is

enabled.

STEP

In the

Host IP Address

field, enter the IP address of the DMZ host. The DMZ host

is the endpoint that receives the redirected packets.

Configuring RSTP

Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is a network protocol that prevents loops in

the network and dynamically reconfigures which physical links should forward

frames. To configure Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RTSP):

STEP 1

Choose

Networking

>

LAN

>

RSTP

.

STEP

2

Enter the following information:

System Priority

Choose the system priority from the drop-down

menu. You can choose from a system priority from

0 to 61440 in increments of 4096. Valid values are

0, 4096, 8192, 12288, 16384, 20480, 24576,

28672, 32768, 40960, 45056, 49152, 53248,

57344, and 61440.

The lower the system priority, the more likely the

device is to become the root in the spanning tree.

The default is

327688

.

Hello Time

The hello time is the time period that the root of the

spanning tree waits before sending hello

messages. Enter a number from 1 to 10. The default

is

2

.

Max Age

The max age is the time period that the router waits

to receive a hello message. If the max age is

reached, the router tries to change the spanning

tree. Enter a number from 6 to 40. The default is

20

.

Port Management

You can configure the speed and flow control settings of the device LAN ports.

To configure port speeds and flow control:

STEP 1

Choose

Networking

>

Port Management

.

STEP

2

Configure this information:

Forward Delay

The forward delay is the interval after which an

interface changes from the blocking to forwarding

state. Enter a number from 4 to 30. The default is

15

.

Force Version

Select the default protocol version to use. Select

Normal

(use RSTP) or

Compatible

(compatible

with old STP). The default is

Normal

.

Protocol Enable

Check to enable RSTP on the associated port.

RSTP is disabled by default.

Edge

Check to specify that the associated port is an

edge port (end station). Uncheck to specify that the

associated port is a link (bridge) to another STP

device. Edge port is enabled by default.

Path Cost

Enter the RSTP path cost for the designated ports.

Use 0 for the default value (the device

automatically determines the path value). You can

also enter a number from 2 to 200000000.

Port

The port number.

Configuring Link Aggregation

Use the Link Aggregation page to group multiple Ethernet links into a single logical

channel. Link aggregation groups improve the cost effectiveness of your device

by increasing cumulative bandwidth without requiring hardware upgrades, and

facilitates easy rerouting in case of a single port or cable failure.

Link

The port speed. If no device is connected to the

port, this field displays

Down

.

Mode

Choose from the drop-down menu one of the

following port speeds:

•

Auto Negotiation

—The device and the

connected device choose a common speed.

•

10Mbps Half

—10 Mbps in both directions,

but only one direction at a time.

•

10Mbps Full

—10 Mbps in both directions

simultaneously.

•

100Mbps Half

—100 Mbps in both

directions, but only one direction at a time.

•

100Mbps Full

—100 Mbps in both

directions simultaneously.

Jumbo Frame

Check to enable jumbo frames on the device and

send frames within the LAN containing up to 9,000

bytes of data per frame. A standard Ethernet frame

contains 1,500 bytes of data.

Flow Control

Check to enable flow control for this port.

Flow control is the process of managing the rate of

data transmission between two nodes to prevent a

fast sender from outrunning a slow receiver. It

provides a mechanism for the receiver to control

the transmission speed, so that the receiving node

is not overwhelmed with data from the transmitting

node.
