Description
Name

•
Manual – The DHCP server assigns a specific IP address to the client based on the
client's MAC address. This type is also known as Static.
•
Dynamic – The DHCP server can assign the client any available IP address within
the pool. This type is also known as Automatic.
•
Undefined – The pool has been created by using the CLI ( command-line
interface), but the pool information has not been configured.
Network
For a Manual pool, the host IP address to assign the client.
For a Dynamic pool, the network base address.
Lease Time
The amount of time the information the DHCP server allocates is valid.

settings:
Name
The name that identifies the DHCP server pool.
Type of Binding
The type of binding for the pool. The options are:
•
Manual – The DHCP server assigns a specific IP address to the client based on the
client's MAC address.
•
Dynamic – The DHCP server can assign the client any available IP address within
the pool.
The binding type you select determines the fields that are available to configure.
Network Base Address
(Dynamic pools only) The network portion of the IP address. A DHCP client can be
offered any available IP address within the defined network as long as it has not
been configured as an excluded address.
Network Mask
(Dynamic pools only) The subnet mask associated with the Network Base Address
that separates the network bits from the host bits.
Client Name (optional)
(Manual pools only) The system name of the client. The Client Name should not
include the domain name.
Hardware Address Type
(Manual pools only) The protocol type (Ethernet or IEEE 802) used by the client's
hardware platform. This value is used in response to requests from BOOTP clients.
Hardware Address
(Manual pools only) The MAC address of the client.
Client ID
(Manual pools only) The value some DHCP clients send in the Client Identifier field of
DHCP messages. This value is typically identical to the Hardware Address value.
In some systems, such as Microsoft DHCP clients, the client identifier is required
instead of the hardware address. If the client's DHCP request includes the client
identifier, the
Client ID
field on the DHCP server must contain the same value, and
the
Hardware Address Type
field must be set to the appropriate value. Otherwise,
the DHCP server will not respond to the client's request.
Host IP Address
(Manual pools only) The IP address to offer the client.
