IP Configuration of Clients Devices via DHCP
The EnRoute500 can be set to serve IP addresses to clients on the VAP interfaces using
DHCP. DHCP-provided addresses can be served either from a local server on the
EnRoute500 or from an external server. The two DHCP modes are described in detail in
section 13.

12.7.2
Manual IP Configuration of Client Devices
Client devices that use static IP addresses must have an IP address that is within the subnet of
the VAP interface that they connect to.
If the local DHCP server is enabled for a VAP interface, IP addresses must be reserved for
statically configured devices by setting the DHCP reserve parameter. This will reserve the
specified number of IP addresses at the bottom of the IP range for the interface. For example,
if the interface has the IP address 10.2.4.1, the netmask 255.255.255.128, and the DHCP
reserve value 5, the IP addresses 10.2.4.2 through 10.2.4.6 will be available for use by
statically configured devices. The remaining IP addresses in the interface’s address space can
be assigned by the DHCP server to other client devices.

CLI
The number of IP addresses reserved for statically-configured devices connected to the
Ethernet interface is set with the ‘dhcp.reserve’ parameter in the ‘eth0’ interface.

Web GUI
The ‘dhcp.reserve’ value can be set via the web interface using the “DHCP” sub-tab on the
“DHCP” tab on the “System Parameters” page (see Figure 43).

12.8 Client Devices
Each VAP has a status page that displays information about attached client devices and total
throughput through the VAP. The signal strength of each client device, its MAC address, its IP
address, and the time since data was last received from it are listed. The status pages can be
accessed under the ‘Status’ tab on the ‘Status’ page, as shown in Figure 44.
