Default Gateway
X Family LSM User’s Guide V 2.5.1 167
Default Gateway
The default gateway is the route to which the device will forward any packet whose destination address
it does not recognize. You configure this route when you configure the external interface.
Configure the Default Route
1. Go to Network > Interfaces. The NETWORK - Interfaces page opens.
2. Locate the external interface and click the Edit icon.
3. Enter the IP address of the next router on the WAN side of the device into the Default Gateway
field. Your ISP will provide you with this information.
DHCP Server
Overview
A DHCP server allows computers on your network to obtain an IP address and subnet mask
automatically. DHCP assigns a temporary IP address and subnet mask to any PC that requires IP
configuration information. When a PC with a DHCP-assigned address disconnects from the network,
the address is released and can be re-assigned.
You can configure the device to act as a DHCP server for devices on its LAN-side interfaces (internal IP
interfaces) that require IP configuration. The following DHCP Server menu pages (Network > DHCP
Server) are available to manage and configure DHCP settings:
DHCP Server Summary Page — view the current status of DHCP leases and a list of current DHCP
clients.
Static Reservations — create and manage static mappings on the device. A static mapping is used
to assign a specific IP address to a device such as a printer or DNS server.
DHCP Relay — enable and configure the DHCP Relay option on the device.
Configure DHCP — enable the DHCP server option and configure the settings.
Note If you are using PPPoE or DHCP, then the default route will be
automatically configured by your ISP and you cannot configure it yourself.
Note The DHCP server is enabled by default and configured with the default IP
Address Group DHCP-Pool which includes 20 IP addresses in the subnet defined
for the internal IP interface. These DHCP addresses are 192.168.1.1 -
192.168.1.20. You can disable the DHCP server or modify the configuration based
on your network requirements.
