are to be used for the network and subnet parts, and zeros for the host part.
??Gateway – this specifies the Gateway IP Address that will be assigned to and used by the DHCP clients.
??Lease Time – this specifies the number of hours a client can lease an IP address, from the dynamically allocated IP pool. The maximum value is 65535 and a value of 0 means the lease is permanent.
??DNS IP – this specifies the Domain Name System server, used by the DHCP clients using leased IP addresses, to translate hostnames into IP addresses or
??WINS IP – this specifies the IP address of the Windows Internet Naming Service server. This server has software that resolves NetBIOS names to IP addresses.
??Domain Name – this is the common suffix, shared by networked hosts, used to represent a common network domain.
??State – this enables/disables the dynamic IP Pool function.
Static IP Pool
The Static IP Pool configuration functions in much the same way as the Dynamic IP Pool configuration. The only difference is that a particular IP address can be assigned to a particular host. This is used for hosts such as servers that need to have static IP addresses to function properly or to make them accessible to remote users. The host is identified by the MAC address of its NIC, which must be entered on this screen.
