Client Addressing Schemes
The choice of client addressing scheme affects how EnRoute500 client access interface
addresses are assigned. The EnRoute500 can be configured to use an implicit addressing
scheme for its client access interfaces, or explicit addresses can be assigned to each client
access interface. The addressing scheme choice also affects what the addresses of clients will
be when the device is not operating in centralized DHCP server mode.

access interface. The addressing scheme choice also affects what the addresses of clients will
be when the device is not operating in centralized DHCP server mode.
It is not possible to mix devices with implicit and explicit addressing schemes
in a common mesh neighborhood.

Table 6 compares how the behavior of the device differs depending upon the addressing
scheme that is chosen.

Table 6. Differences between explicit and implicit addressing schemes
CLI
The choice of implicit or explicit addressing scheme is controlled by the ‘implicit.enable’
parameter in the ‘mesh’ interface. Set this parameter to ‘yes’ to select implicit addressing and
to ‘no’ to select explicit addressing. The example below demonstrates how to select the implicit
addressing scheme.

Web GUI
The addressing scheme is set with the “Implicit Addressing” drop-down menu on the “System”
tab of the “System” page. Set this to disabled to choose the explicit addressing scheme.
