Chapter 3: Initial System Configuration
The management gateway function is now enabled with default firewall and router rules. By default these rules are configured
so the Management LAN can only be accessible by SSH port forwarding. This ensures the remote and local connections to
Managed Devices on the Management LAN are secure.
3.6.2 Configure the DHCP server
The Console Servers also host a DHCP server which by default is disabled. The DHCP server enables the automatic
distribution of IP addresses to devices on the Network Interface or the Management LAN. To enable the DHCP server:
• On the
System: IP
menu select the
Management LAN Interface
page and click the
Disabled
label in the
DHCP Server
field (or go to the
System: DHCP Server
menu and check
Enable DHCP Server
)
• Enter the
Gateway
address that is to be issued to the DHCP clients. If this field is left blank, the Console Server’s IP
address will be used
• Enter the
Primary DNS
and
Secondary DNS
address to issue the DHCP clients. Again if this field is left blank, Console
Server’s IP address is used, so leave this field blank for automatic DNS server assignment
• Optionally enter a
Domain Name
suffix to issue DHCP clients
• Enter the
Default Lease
time and
Maximum Lease
time in seconds. The lease time is the time that a dynamically
assigned IP address is valid before the client must request it again
• Click
Apply
The DHCP server will sequentially issue IP addresses from a specified address pool(s):
• Click
Add
in the
Dynamic Address Allocation Pools
field
• Enter the
DHCP Pool Start Address
and
End Address
and click
Apply
