7. From the Network field, use the Associated Interface drop-down menu to define the switch
interface is used for the newly created DHCP configuration. Use VLAN1 as a default interface if
no others have been defined.
Additionally, define the IP Address and Subnet Mask used for DHCP discovery and requests
between the DHCP Server and DHCP clients.
NOTE
The IP address and subnet mask of the pool are required to match the addresses of the layer 3
interface in order for the addresses to be supported through that interface.
8. Within the Lease Time field, define one of the two kinds of leases the DHCP Server assigns to
its clients:
• Infinite - If selected, the client can use the assigned address indefinitely.
• Actual Interval - Select this checkbox to manually define the interval for clients to use
DHCP supplied addresses. The default lease time is 1 day, with a minimum setting of 60
seconds and a maximum value of 946080000 seconds.
9. Within the Servers field, change the server type used with the pool and use the Insert and
Remove buttons to add and remove the IP addresses of the routers used.
10. Provide the Included Ranges (starting and ending IP addresses) for this particular pool.
Use the Insert and Remove buttons as required to define the range of supported IP addresses.
A network pool without any include range is as good as not having a pool, because it won't be
useful in assigning addresses.
11. Click OK to save and add the changes to the running configuration and close the dialog.
12. Refer to the Status field.
The Status is the current state of the requests made from the applet. Requests are any
“SET/GET” operation from the applet. The Status field displays error messages if something
goes wrong in the transaction between the applet and the switch.
13. Click Cancel to close the dialog without committing updates to the running configuration

Global Options screen.
To define new global name and value and send it to other peer switches in the mobility domain:
