Gateway Address

DHCP clients that want to access hosts outside the local subnet

request gateways to forward data. You can specify gateways in

gateway addresses while assigning an IP address to the client.
Up to eight gateways can be specified in a DHCP address pool,

separated by commas.

DNS Server Address

Enter the DNS server addresses for the client.
To allow the client to access a host on the Internet via the host

name, you need to specify DNS server addresses.
Up to eight DNS servers can be specified in a DHCP address
pool, separated by commas.

WINS Server Address

Enter the WINS server addresses for the client.
If b-node is specified for the client, you do not need to specify any
WINS server address.
Up to eight WINS servers can be specified in a DHCP address
pool, separated by commas.
