Advanced Configuration

v1.0, May 2006

The following list provides information about how to configure DHCP settings:

•

Use AP as DHCP Server:

Turn on this option to allow the wireless access point to function as

a DHCP Server for wireless clients. The WAG302v2 provides the pre-configured TCP/IP

configurations for wireless clients connected to this wireless access point. The default setting

is disable.

If you enable the WAG302v2 DHCP server, you must configure the following TCP/IP

configuration information that the wireless access point assigns to wireless clients that associate

with it:

•

Starting IP Address:

Enter the starting IP address the DHCP server on this Access Point can

assign wireless clients.The default starting IP address is 192.168.0.2.

•

Ending IP Address:

Enter the Ending IP address the DHCP server on this Access Point can

assign wireless clients. The default ending IP address is 192.168.0.50.

•

Subnet Mask:

Enter a subnet mask for the DHCP server on the Access Point to assign

wireless clients. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

•

Gateway Address:

Enter a Gateway Address for the DHCP server on the Access Point to

assign wireless clients. The wireless clients will use this IP address as the default gateway for

any traffic beyond the local network. By default, the gateway address is the IP address of the

WAG302v2.

•

Primary DNS Server:

Enter a Primary DNS Server IP address for the DHCP server on the

Access Point to assign wireless clients. By default, the DNS server address is the IP address of

the WAG302v2. The WAG302v2 relays requests from wireless clients to the DNS server

configured on the

Basic Settings

page.

•

Secondary DNS Server:

Enter a Secondary DNS Server IP address for the DHCP server on

the Access Point to assign wireless clients. There is no default server.

•

Primary WINS Server:

Enter a Primary WINS Server IP address for the DHCP server on the

Access Point to assign wireless clients. There is no default server.

Note:

The DHCP server only assigns network information to clients that connect to

the WAG302v2 through Security Profiles that are on the same VLAN as

Security Profile 1 on the 802.11b/g radio. VLAN 1 is the default VLAN for all

Security Profiles. If you typically use an existing DHCP server on your

network to assign network information to hosts, you do not need to enable the

DHCP server on the WAG302v2.
