are expected to renew them to continue to use the addresses. Once a lease has expired, the client to which that lease was assigned is no longer permitted to use the leased IP address.

NOTE: DHCP Server setting updates are only implemented when the switch is restarted.

To configure DHCP:

1.Select Services > DHCP Server from the main menu tree.

The DHCP Server screen displays with the Configuration tab displayed.

2.Select the Enable DHCP Server checkbox to enable the switch’s internal DHCP Server for use with global pools.

3.Select the Ignore BOOTP checkbox to bypass a BOOTP request.

4.Define an interval (from 1 -10 seconds) for the Ping time interval variable, the switch uses it to intermittently ping and find out if the "DHCP client" requested IP is already used in network or not.

5.Refer to the following information as displayed within Network Pool field.

Pool Name	Displays the name of the IP pool from which IP addresses can be issued to DHCP client
	requests on the current interface. The pool is the range of IP addresses for which addresses
	can be assigned. However, the relationship between pools and interfaces is implicit, not
	explicit as was the case with previous implementations of the switch.
Network	Displays the IP address for the clients on this interface.
