DHCP Server Operation

for DHCP clients.

filename

filename "

filenam

e”;

The

filename

statement can be used to specify the name of the initial boot

file which is to be loaded by a client. The filename should be a filename
recognizable to whatever file transfer protocol the client can be expected to
use to load the file.

server-name

server-name "

nam

e";

The

server-name

statement can be used to inform the client of the name of

the server from which it is booting.

Name

should be the name that will be

provided to the client.

next-server

next-server

server-nam

e;

The next-server statement is used to specify the host address of the server
from which the initial boot file (specified in the filename statement) is to be
loaded. Server-name should be a numeric IP address or a domain name. If
no next-server parameter applies to a given client, the DHCP server’s IP
address is used.

fixed-address

fixed-address

IP-address

[,

IP-address

... ];

The fixed-address statement is used to assign one or more fixed IP
addresses to a client. It should only appear in a

host

declaration. If more

than one address is supplied, then when the client boots, it will be assigned
the address which corresponds to the network on which it is booting. If
none of the addresses in the

fixed-address

statement are on the network on

which the client is booting, that client will not match the

host

declaration

containing that

fixed-address

statement.


dynamic-bootp-lease-cutoff

dynamic-bootp-lease-cutoff

dat

e;

The

dynamic-bootp-lease-cutoff

statement sets the ending time for all leases

assigned dynamically to BOOTP clients. Since BOOTP clients have no way
of renewing leases, and do not know that their leases could expire, the
DHCP server assigns infinite leases to BOOTP clients. However, it may
make sense in some situations to set a cut-off date for all BOOTP leases.
