The Host description field is used to describe the host as desired.

The Host name field is the unique name to refer to the host within the DHCP configuration.

The Hardware address field is the Ethernet MAC of the client associated with the host entry.

The Fixed IP address field is the IP to assign to the matching client.

27.2.6. DHCP Pool Configuration

Note that the menu interfaces for creating a DHCP Address Pool Configuration and for editing an
existing one are the same - only the title differs (Create versus Edit).

Figure 27.6. DHCP Pool Configuration

The settings specific to the Create/Edit Address Pool menu are:

The Failover peer field is the IP address of a DHCP peer server if a fail over pool is created.

The Clients to allow/deny field can be used to control which clients can get IP address from the
pool. See documentation for dhcpd3 for syntax and allowed values. Very rarely needed. The Allow
unknown clients
setting already handles the most common use of this option.
