SonicWALL 5.8.1 Manuale Utente

The DHCP server assigns leased IP addresses to users within specified ranges, known as 
“Scopes”. Take care in making these settings manually, as a scope of 200 addresses for 
multiple interfaces that will only use 30 can lead to connection issues due to lease exhaustion. 

The DHCP scope should be resized as each interface/subinterface is defined to ensure that 
adequate DHCP space remains for all subsequently defined interfaces. Failure to do so may 
cause the auto-creation of subsequent DHCP scopes to fail, requiring manual creation after 
performing the requisite scope resizing. DHCP Server Scope is set from the Network > DHCP 
Server page.

A Virtual Access Point Profile allows the administrator to pre-configure and save access point 
settings in a profile. VAP Profiles allows settings to be easily applied to new Virtual Access 
Points. Virtual Access Point Profiles are configured from the Wireless > Virtual Access Point 
page.

This feature is especially useful for quick setup in situations where multiple virtual access points 
will share the same authenticaiton methods.
