5.4 DHCP server
71
Parameters
In the Address Scope dialog, basic DHCP parameters of the addresses assigned to
clients can be defined:
• Default Gateway — IP address of the router that will be used as the default
gateway for the subnet from which IP addresses are assigned. IP address of
the interface the network is connected to. Default gateway of another network
would be useless (not available to clients).
• DNS server — any DNS server (or more DNS servers separated with semicolons).
We recommend you to use DNS Forwarder in WinRoute as the primary server
(first in the list) — IP address of the WinRoute host. DNS Forwarder can co-
operate with DHCP server (see chapter 5.3) so that it will always use correct IP
addresses to response to requests on local host names.
• WINS server
• Domain — local Internet domain. Do not specify this parameter if there is no
local domain.
Warning: This parameter is not used for specification of the name of Windows
NT domain!
Advanced
Click on this button to open a dialog with a complete list of advanced parameters
supported by DHCP (including the four mentioned above). Any parameter sup-
ported by DHCP can be added and its value can be set within this dialog. This
dialog is also a part of the Address Scopes tab.
To view configured DHCP parameters and their values within appropriate IP scopes see
the right column in the Address Scope tab.
Note: Simple DHCP server statistics are displayed at the right top of the Address Scope
tab. Each scope is described with the following items:
• total number of addresses within this scope
• number and percentage proportion of leases
• number and percentage proportion of free addresses
