for DHCP clients.

 

filename

 

filename " filename”;

 

The filename statement can be used to specify the name of the initial boot

file which is to be loaded by a client. The filename should be a filename

recognizable to whatever file transfer protocol the client can be expected to

use to load the file.

 

server-name

 

server-name " name";

 

The server-namestatement can be used to inform the client of the name of

the server from which it is booting. Name should be the name that will be

provided to the client.

 

next-server

 

next-server server-name;

 

The next-server statement is used to specify the host address of the server

from which the initial boot file (specified in the filename statement) is to be

loaded. Server-name should be a numeric IP address or a domain name. If

no next-server parameter applies to a given client, the DHCP server’s IP

address is used.

 

fixed-address

 

fixed-address IP-address[, IP-address ... ];

 

The fixed-address statement is used to assign one or more fixed IP

 

addresses to a client. It should only appear in a host declaration. If more

than one address is supplied, then when the client boots, it will be assigned

the address which corresponds to the network on which it is booting. If

none of the addresses in the fixed-addressstatement are on the network on

which the client is booting, that client will not match the host declaration

containing that fixed-addressstatement.

 

dynamic-bootp-lease-cutoff

dynamic-bootp-lease-cutoff date;

The dynamic-bootp-lease-cutoffstatement sets the ending time for all leases assigned dynamically to BOOTP clients. Since BOOTP clients have no way of renewing leases, and do not know that their leases could expire, the DHCP server assigns infinite leases to BOOTP clients. However, it may make sense in some situations to set a cut-off date for all BOOTP leases.
