DHCP

DHCP Client

The DHCP client obtains an IP address and other networking parameters when attempting to make a connection on either the wlan0 or eth0 interfaces. Configure the DHCP client for the interfaces by accessing the network interface configuration group for the respective interface.

By default, the interfaces are configured for DHCP mode versus static IP mode.

In Web Manager, go to Network and select eth0 > Interface > Configuration or wlan0 > Interface > Configuration.

For the CLI, see Config Interface level.

For XML, see configgroup interface.

DHCP Server

The DHCP server assigns an IP address to a client attempting to make a connection on the ap0 interface.

Enable the ap0 interface in order for the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to clients connecting on ap0.

See SoftAP for configuration settings and more information.

In Web Manager, go to Network and select ap0 > Interface > Configuration.

For the CLI, see Config Interface level.

For XML, see configgroup interface.
