3. In the IP Setup configuration page, enter a LAN IP address and
subnet mask for the OfficeConnect Gigabit VPN Firewall in the space
provided.
4. Click to save the LAN IP address.
If you were using an Ethernet connection for the current session, and
changed the IP address, the connection will be terminated.
5. Reconfigure your PCs, if necessary, so that their IP addresses place
them in the same subnet as the new IP address of the LAN port. See
the Quick Start Guide chapter, ―Part 3 — Configuring Your
Computers,‖ for instructions.
6. Log into Configuration Manager by typing the new IP address in your
Web browser’s address/location box.
5.2 DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol)
5.2.1 What is DHCP?
DHCP is a protocol that enables network administrators to centrally manage the
assignment and distribution of IP information to computers on a network.
When you enable DHCP on a network, you allow a device — such as the
OfficeConnect Gigabit VPN Firewall — to assign temporary IP addresses to your
computers whenever they connect to your network. The assigning device is
called a DHCP server, and the receiving device is a DHCP client.
If you followed the Quick Start Guide instructions, you either
configured each LAN PC with an IP address, or you specified that
it will receive IP information dynamically (automatically). If you
chose to have the information assigned dynamically, then you
configured your PCs as DHCP clients that will accept IP
addresses assigned from a DCHP server such as the
OfficeConnect Gigabit VPN Firewall.
