Drop-in Mode Settings
(Available on Peplink Balance 210+ and MediaFast 200+)
Enable
Drop-in Mode eases the installation of the Peplink Balance on a live network between the
existing firewall and router, such that no configuration changes are required on existing
equipment. Check the box to enable the Drop-in Mode feature.
Please refer to
Section 11, Drop-in Mode
for details.
WAN for Drop-In
Mode
Select the WAN port to be used for Drop-in Mode. If
WAN 1 with LAN Bypass
is selected,
the High Availability feature will be disabled automatically.
Shared Drop-In
Mode
A
When this option is enabled, the passthrough IP address will be used to connect to WAN
hosts (email notification, remote syslog, etc.). The Balance will listen for this IP address
when WAN hosts access services provided by the Balance (Web Admin access from the
WAN, DNS server requests, etc.).
To connect to hosts on the LAN (email notification, remote syslog, etc.), the default gateway
address will be used. The Balance will listen for this IP address when LAN hosts access
services provided by the Balance (Web Admin access from the WAN, DNS proxy, etc.).
Shared IP
Address
A
Access to this IP address will be passed through to the LAN port if this device is not serving
the service being accessed. The shared IP Address will be used in connecting to hosts on
the WAN (e.g. email notification, remote syslog, etc.) The device will also listen on the IP
address when hosts on the WAN access services served on this device (e.g. web admin
accesses from WAN, DNS server, etc.)
WAN Default
Gateway
Enter the WAN router's IP address in this field. If there are more hosts in addition to the
router on the WAN segment, check the I
have other host(s) on WAN segment
box and
enter the IP address of the hosts that need to access LAN devices or be accessed by
others.

DHCP Server Settings
DHCP Server
When this setting is enabled, the
Peplink Balance’s
DHCP server automatically assigns an
IP address to each computer that is connected via LAN and is configured to obtain an IP
address via DHCP. The
Peplink Balance’s DHCP server can prevent IP address collision
s
on the LAN.
IP Range &
Subnet Mask
These settings allocate a range of IP address that will be assigned to LAN computers by the
Peplink Balance
’s DHCP server
.
Lease Time
This setting specifies the length of time throughout which an IP address of a DHCP client
remains valid. Upon expiration of
Lease Time
, the assigned IP address will no longer be
valid and the IP address assignment must be renewed.
DNS Servers
This option allows you to input the DNS server addresses to be offered to DHCP clients. If
Assign DNS server automatically
is selected, the Peplink Balance’s built
-in DNS server
address (i.e., LAN IP address) will be offered.
WINS Server
This option allows you to specify the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server. You
may choose to use the built-in WINS server or external WINS servers.
When this unit is connected using SpeedFusion
TM
, other VPN peers can share this unit's
built-in WINS server by entering this unit's LAN IP address in their
DHCP WINS Servers
setting. Therefore, all PC clients in the VPN can resolve the NetBIOS names of other clients
in remote peers. If you have enabled this option, a list of WINS clients will be displayed at
Status>WINS Clients
.
Extended DHCP
Option
In addition to standard DHCP options (e.g. DNS server address, gateway address, subnet
mask), you can specify the value of additional extended DHCP options, as defined in RFC
2132. With these extended options enabled, you can pass additional configuration
information to LAN hosts.
To define an extended DHCP option, click the
Add
button, choose the option to define, and
then enter its value. For values that are in IP address list format, you can enter one IP
address per line in the provided text area input control. Each option can be defined once
only.
DHCP Reservation
This setting reserves the assignment of fixed IP addresses for a list of computers on the
LAN. The computers to be assigned fixed IP addresses on the LAN are identified by their
MAC addresses.
The fixed IP address assignment is displayed as a cross-reference list between the
computers’
names, MAC addresses, and fixed IP addresses.
Name
(an optional field) allows you to specify a name to represent the device.
MAC
addresses should be in the format of
00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE
. Press
to create a new
record.
Press
to remove a record. Reserved clients information can be imported from
the
Client List
, located at
Status>Client List
. For more details, please refer to section
26.3
