FIGURE 10 DHCP Pools screen - Basic Settings tab
If adding or editing a DHCP pool, the DHCP Pool screen displays the Basic Settings tab by
default. Define the required parameters for the Basic Settings, Static Bindings and
Advanced tabs to complete the creation of the DHCP pool.
4. Set the following General parameters from within the Basic Settings tab:
5. Use the IP Address Ranges field define the range of included (starting and ending IP
addresses) addresses for this particular pool.
DHCP Pool If adding a new pool, a name is required. The pool is the range of IP addresses defined for DHCP
assignment or lease. The name assigned cannot be modified as part of the edit process. However, if the
network pool configuration is obsolete it can be deleted. The name cannot exceed 32 characters.
Subnet Define the IP address and Subnet Mask used for DHCP discovery and requests between the local DHCP
server and clients. The IP address and subnet mask are required to match the addresses of the layer 3
interface for the addresses to be supported through that interface.
Domain Name Provide the domain name used with this pool. Domain 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.
DNS Servers Define one (or a group) of Domain Name Servers (DNS) to translate domain names to IP addresses.
Select Clear to remove any single IP address as needed. Up to 8 IP addresses can be supported.
Lease Time DHCP leases provide addresses for defined times to various clients. If a client does not use the leased
address within the defined time, that IP address can be re-assigned to another DHCP supported client.
Select this option to assign a lease in either Seconds (1 - 31, 622, 399), Minutes (1 - 527,040), Hours (1
- 8,784) or Days (1 - 366). The default setting is enabled, with a lease time of 1 day.
Default Routers After a DHCP client has booted, the client begins sending packets to its default router. Set the IP address
of one or more routers used to map host names into IP addresses for clients. Up to 8 default router IP
addresses are supported.
