About this task
Use this procedure to configure a Client Mode Profile.
Procedure
-
Enter a Client Mode
Profile Name.
-
Enter a Description (optional).
-
The Enable Local Web
Page option is enabled by default.
The client mode AP activates a local SSID portal web page, which includes
choices to select and connect the client mode AP WAN-side radio to a WAN WiFi
network. Clear this check box to configure other options for this
profile.
-
Choose one of the following
three DHCP server options:
- In the DHCP Server
Scope field, enter the first IP address of the DHCP server
range. The first IP address in this range is the IP address used to display
the client mode SSID portal web page. Make a note of this first IP address
for later reference.
- In the DHCP Server Scope field, enter a single IP
address to reserve a specific client (MAC address) to an IP. A DHCP
reservation is a permanent IP address assignment. It is a specific IP
address within a DHCP scope that is permanently reserved for a specific DHCP
client. DHCP reservations on the AP support security on the local side of
the Network Address Translation (NAT) and ensure that the client IP address
does not change.
- Set the Advanced DHCP
Server slider button to On, then
choose a pre-configured DHCP Server and
Relay agent from the dropdown list.

Forwarding slider button to On, then

-
Select TCP, UDP, or
Both from the Protocol
drop-down list.
-
Select a Host IP Address for the internal device
from the drop-down list, or select the plus sign to add a new
address.
