DHCP Server (AP/Bridge modes only) 
Basic 
 
AWK-1100 can assign IP addresses to client computers automatically by DHCP. In this section of 
the management page, you can specify the Default gatewaySubnet maskPrimary DNS server
and Secondary DNS server settings that will be sent to a client at its request. Additionally, you 
can specify the first IP address that will be assigned to the clients and the number of allocateable 
IP addresses. 
NOTE 
There should only be one DHCP server on the LAN; otherwise, DHCP will not work properly. If 
there already is a DHCP server on the LAN, disable the DHCP server functionality of the 
AWK-1100. 
By default the DHCP server function is disabled. 
Static DHCP Mappings 
 
IP addresses of servers are often static so that clients can always locate the servers by the static IP 
addresses. By using Static DHCP Mappings, you can ensure that a host will get the same IP 
address when it requests one from the DHCP server. Therefore, instead of configuring the IP 
address of an intranet server manually, you can configure the server to obtain an IP address by 
DHCP so that it is always assigned the same IP address.
