DHCP Server Scope
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.
Virtual Access Point Profiles
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.
