Attribute

Description

 

 

WINS node type

Allows you to specify a client’s WINS node type.

 

The BCM system automatically sets this value to H-node on all DHCP clients.

 

This setting configures the DHCP client PCs to use P-node name resolution

 

before resorting to B-node name resolution. This is efficient when a WINS

 

server is configured for the network. The BCM system also includes a WINS

 

server.

 

Note: Use caution if you change this attribute.

 

 

Default gateway

Allows you to specify the IP address of the default next-hop router.

 

BCM automatically assigns the value for this parameter. If the IP address or

 

subnet mask for the corresponding LAN interface changes, this value is

 

overwritten. Use caution when changing this value.

 

 

Lease time

Allows you to specify the time, in seconds, for an address assignment until the

 

client’s lease expires.

 

The default is 259200 seconds (72 hours).
