2. Review the following DHCP pool configurations to determine if an existing pool can be used as
is, a new one requires creation or edit, or a pool requires deletion:
3. Select Add to create a new DHCP pool, Edit to modify an existing pool’s properties or Delete to
remove a pool from amongst those available.
DHCP Pool Displays the name assigned to the network pool when created. The DHCP pool name represents the
group of IP addresses used to assign to DHCP clients upon request. The name assigned cannot be
modified as part of the edit process. However, if the network pool configuration is obsolete it can be
deleted.
Subnet Displays the network address and mask used by clients requesting DHCP resources.
Domain Name Displays the domain name defined used with this network pool. Domain Name Services (DNS) convert
human readable host names into IP addresses. Host names are not case sensitive and can contain
alphabetic or numeric letters or a hyphen. A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) consists of a host name
plus a domain name. For example, computername.domain.com.
Boot File Boot files (Boot Protocol) are used to boot remote systems over the network. BOOTP messages are
encapsulated inside UDP messages, so requests and replies can be forwarded. Each DHCP network pool
can use a different file as needed.
Lease Time If a lease time has been defined for a listed network pool, it displays in an interval from
1 - 31,622,399 seconds. DHCP leases provide addresses for defined times to various clients. If a client
does not use the leased address for the defined time, that IP address can be re-assigned to another
DHCP client.
