Configuring the DHCP Server with a Configuration Editor
A typical DHCP server configuration provides the following configuration settings for
a particular subnet on a Services Router interface:
■ An IP address pool, with one address excluded from the pool.
■ Default and maximum lease times.
■ Domain search suffixes. These suffixes specify the domain search list used by a
client when resolving hostnames with DNS. See RFC 3397, Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Domain Search Option, for more information.
■ A DNS name server.
■ A DHCP option—Router solicitation address option (option 32). The IP address
excluded from the IP address pool is reserved for this option.
In addition, the DHCP server might assign a static address to at least one client on
the subnet. Table 38 on page 72 provides the settings and values for the sample
DHCP server configuration used in this section.
