3. Set the following parameters within the Configuration field:

4. Refer to the Global DHCP Server Options field.

a. Use the + Add Row button at the bottom of the field to add a new global DHCP server

option. Select the radio button of an existing global DHCP server option and select the
Delete icon to remove it from the list of those available.

b. Use the Type drop-down menu to specify whether the DHCP option is being defined as a

numerical IP address or ASCII or Hex string. Highlight an entry from within the Global
Options screen and click the Remove button to delete the name and value.

5. Select OK to save the updates to the DHCP server global settings. Select Reset to revert the

screen back to its last saved configuration.

Ignore BOOTP Requests

Select the checkbox to ignore BOOTP requests. BOOTP (boot protocol) requests boot remote systems
within the network. BOOTP messages are encapsulated inside UDP messages and forwarded. This
feature is disabled by default, so unless selected, BOOTP requests are forwarded.

Ping Timeout

Set an interval (from 1 -10 seconds) for the DHCP server ping timeout. The timeout is the intermittent
ping and discover interval to discern whether a client requested IP address is already used.
