DHCP Subnet Settings Array
An array of the settings listed in the following table is included in the DHCP service settings for each subnet you define. You can add a subnet to the DHCP configuration by using serveradmin to add an array of these settings.
About Subnet IDs
In an actual list of settings, <subnetID> is replaced with a unique ID code for the subnet. The IDs generated by the server are just random numbers. The only requirement for this ID is that it be unique among the subnets defined on the server.
