Configuring internal connections 59 Configuring the appliance as DHCP server the appliance, adjust the DHCP IP address range appropriately. See "To change the DHCP IP address range" on page 60. Table 4-1 shows the default start and end IP addresses for each model. The default range is based on the recommended number of concurrent clients for each model. The number of clients you can support may vary depending on your traffic characteristics. Table 4-1 Default DHCP IP address ranges Model Number of Clients Start IP Address End IP Address 320 50 360 75 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.76 192.168.0.76 The DHCP server only supports class C networks. Class C networks have addresses from 192.0.0.0 through 223.255.255.0. The network number is the first three octets, being from 192.0.0 through 223.255.255. Each class C network can have one octet worth of hosts. You can place the appliance in any class network, but the DHCP server does not support this. If you have a mix of clients that use DHCP and static IP addresses, the static IP addresses must be outside the range of DHCP IP addresses. Also, you may want to assign static IP addresses to some services. For example, if you have a Web server on your site, you want to assign it a static address. The DHCP server in the appliance is enabled by default. If you disable the DHCP server, each client connecting to the LAN must be assigned an IP address that is in the range. If you enable the roaming on the appliance as a secondary wireless access point, the DHCP server is disabled. To configure the appliance as a DHCP server You can enable or disable DHCP, and you can set the range of IP addresses that the appliance allocates to the clients. See "LAN IP & DHCP tab field descriptions" on page 161. To enable or disable DHCP 1 In the SGMI, in the left pane, click LAN. 2 In the right pane, on the LAN IP & DHCP tab, under DHCP, do one of the following: ■ To enable the appliance as a DHCP server, check Enable. ■ To disable the appliance as a DHCP server, check Disable.
