Chapter 21 - Configuring The DHCP server

DHCP Server Main Menu

Figure 170: 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.
