Chapter 24 - Configuring The DHCP server
DHCP Configuration
DHCP Server Main Menu
Figure 191: DHCP Server Menu
The DHCP Server main menu shows the subnets configured for DHCP, as well as any
groups and hosts. New subnets, groups and hosts can be added, and existing entries
can be edited (and optionally deleted).
The Edit Client Options button allows you to set global client settings for the DHCP
server. Settings made here apply to all clients unless overridden at a lower level in the
configuration.
The Edit Network Interface button allows you to select which interfaces DHCP
should listen for DHCP requests on. Note that you must also have a subnet matching
the IP address of the selected interface configured in DHCP in order to actually have
DHCP listen for requests on a port.
The List Active Leases button shows you which dynamic IP leases are currently
assigned to clients.
The Start Server button starts the server to check the configuration. To permanently
enable DHCP you should enable it in the bootup and shutdown menu.
The Apply Changes button applys new settings to the running DHCP server. Use
this after making any changes to the configuration.
