Configuring Advanced Dhcp Server Settings - Motorola P-7131N-FGR Product Reference Manual

5.1.2.1 Configuring Advanced DHCP Server Settings

Use the Advanced DHCP Server
devices. Every wireless, 802.11x-standard device has a unique Media Access Control (MAC) address.
This address is the device's hard-coded hardware number (shown on the bottom or back). An example
of a MAC address is 00:A0:F8:45:9B:07.
The DHCP server can grant an IP address for as long as it remains in active use. The lease time is the
number of seconds an IP address is reserved for re-connection after its last use. Using very short
leases, DHCP can dynamically reconfigure networks in which there are more computers than
available IP addresses. This is useful, for example, in education and customer environments where
MU users change frequently. Use longer leases if there are fewer users.
To generate a list of client MAC address to IP address mappings for the access point:
1. Select Network Configuration
tree.
2. Click the Advanced DHCP Server
screen to specify (reserve) static (or fixed) IP addresses for specific
-> LAN -> LAN1 (or LAN2)
button from within the
Network Management
from the access point menu
LAN1 or LAN2 screen.
