The DHCP Settings page provides the option of enabling a DHCP server and controlling the Quadro user's LAN settings. Therefore, Quadro LAN users will automatically be provided with the following settings using the configured parameters:
IP addresses
NTP (corresponds to the Quadro's IP address)
WINS server
Nameserver (corresponds to the Quadro's IP address)
Domain name
The DHCP Settings page offers the following input options:
Enable DHCP Server checkbox activates the DHCP server on Quadro. With this checkbox enabled, Quadro will be able to assign dynamic IP addresses to the devices in its LAN.
Give leases only to hosts listed in the static MAC address binding table checkbox enables the DHCP services only for the devices listed in the table below. With this checkbox selected, no DHCP services will be provided to the other devices.
IP Address Range defines a range of IP addresses that will be assigned to the Quadro LAN users. The IP range
has to be at least 6, otherwise the error message "Address Range too small" will prevent it from being saved.
The error message "Address Range too large" will appear if the IP range is larger than 254.
WINS Server defines a WINS server IP address for the Quadro LAN users.
The IP-Clipboard
buttons offer a convenient possibility to enter IP addresses that have been used before.
The DHCP Advanced Settings link leads to the page where the advanced options of the Quadro's DHCP server can be configured.
The Special Devices table on this page allows you to set a static IP address binding on the MAC address of the device in the Quadro's LAN. When this table is configured, the devices with defined hostnames and MAC addresses will always get the same LAN IP address from the DHCP server. Otherwise, devices not listed in this table will get dynamic LAN IP addresses. The following manipulation buttons are present to manage the table. This table is also displayed in the System Configuration Wizard.
Add functional button opens the page Add Host where a new static MAC address binding can be defined.
Edit opens the Edit Host page where MAC address binding can be modified for the certain device in the Quadro's LAN. This page has the same components as Add Host page does.
Delete removes the selected entries from the table.
Select all checks all existing entries in the table.
Inverse selection inverses the current selection (if no records are
selected, clicking on inverse selection will check all records).
The View DHCP
Leases link leads to a separate window that shows all DHCP leases, specified
by their IP and Mac addresses, the lease start, the lease end and the
hostname.
