Settings – LAN & DHCP
IP Address
IP address for the Load Balancer LB-2, as seen from the local LAN. Use the
default value unless the address is already in use or your LAN is using a
different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an unused IP Address
from within the range used by your LAN.
Subnet Mask
The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C") networks.
For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN segment to which the
Load Balancer LB-2 is attached (the same value as the PCs on that LAN
segment).
DHCP Server
Configuration
•
DHCP Server Setup
- If
Enabled
, the Load Balancer LB-2 will allocate IP
Addresses to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The
default and recommended value is "Enable". (Windows systems, by

default, act as DHCP clients. This setting is called
Obtain an IP address
automatically
.)
•
DHCP Server Setup
- If you are already using a DHCP Server, the
DHCP Server setting must be
Disabled
, and the existing DHCP server
must be set to provide the IP address of the Load Balancer LB-2 as the
Default Gateway
.
•
Client Lease Time
– It is a finite period of time for a DHCP server lease
an IP address to a client..
•
Client Default DNS
– An IP address of the default DNS server for the
client requesting DHCP service.
DHCP IP Address
Range
•
Offered Range
fields set the values used by the DHCP server when
allocating IP Addresses to DHCP clients. This range also determines the
number of DHCP clients supported.
•
Free Entries
indicates how many DHCP entries are not currently
allocated, and still available.
ARP Proxy
Enable this ONLY if the LAN port has an IP address in the same address
range as the WAN port(s). This means that all PCs using this Gateway must
have valid fixed external (Internet) IP addresses.
If enabled, enter the IP address range used on your LAN.
DHCP Client List
This table shows the IP addresses which have been allocated by the DHCP
Server function. For each address which has been allocated, the following
information is shown.
•
Name
– The "hostname" of the PC. In some cases, this may not be
known.
•
MAC Address
– The physical address (network adapter address) of the
PC.
•
IP Address
– The IP address allocated to this PC.
•
Type
– Indicates IP address to be dynamic or static.
•
Status
– If
Dynamic
, the IP address was allocated by this DHCP Server.
If
Sniffed
, the IP address was detected by examining the LAN, rather than
allocated by the DHCP Server. In this case, the
Name
is usually not
known.
•
Time Left
– The time expired since which IP address is leased.
