1. Select Services > DHCP Server from the main menu tree.
2. Select the Enable DHCP Server checkbox to enable the switch’s internal DHCP Server for use
with global pools.
3. Select the Ignore BOOTP checkbox to bypass a BOOTP request.
4. Define an interval (from 1 -10 seconds) for the Ping timeout variable. The switch uses the
timeout to intermittently ping and discover whether the client requested IP address is already
used.
5. Refer to the following as displayed within Network Pool field.
6. Click the Edit button to modify the properties displayed on an existing DHCP pool. For more
information, see
“Editing the properties of an existing DHCP pool”
7. To delete an existing DHCP pool from the list of those available, highlight the pool from within
the Network Pool field and click the Delete button.
Pool Name
Displays the name of the IP pool from which IP addresses can be issued to DHCP
client requests on the current interface. The pool is the range of IP addresses
available.
Network
Displays the network address for the clients.
Lease Time
(dd:hh:mm)
When a DHCP server allocates an address for a DHCP client, the client is assigned
a lease (which expires after a designated interval defined by the administrator).
The lease time is the time an IP address is reserved for re-connection after its last
use. Using very short leases, DHCP can dynamically reconfigure networks in which
there are more computers than there are available IP addresses. This is useful, for
example, in education and customer environments where MU users change
frequently. Use longer leases if there are fewer users.
Domain
Displays the domain name for the current interface.
