Configuring the DHCP Server
7.5 Using DHCP GUI to Configure DHCP
Support Microsoft RAS Server
Specifies support for the Microsoft Proxy Remote Access Server (RAS). The RAS
server generates a BOOTP packet with a MAC address of 16 octets.
The following are valid values:
False: Ignore a BOOTP packet with a MAC address of 16 octets. Default.
True: Recognize a BOOTP packet with a MAC address of 16 octets.
Use MAC addr as client ID
Specifies whether the server is to use the client ID to uniquely identify a client.
If set to True, the server uses the client’s MAC address as the client ID. BOOTP
also uses the MAC address to uniquely identify a client.
The following are valid values:
False: Use client ID to identify clients. Default.
True: Use MAC address to identify clients.
7.5.2.2 Configuring IP Ranges
Use the IP Ranges parameters to specify the IP addresses that are available to
assign to clients.
Note
If your network contains subnets, that information must be included in
the NETMASKS. file. See Section 7.2.2.4 for more information on the use
of netmasks when you are using subnet addressing.
To configure the server IP ranges:
1. Click the Server/Security tab.
2. Choose IP Ranges from the drop-down list.
3. Choose [New IP Range].
4. For each IP range, enter the subnet address or name, a server address, and
an IP range to be assigned to clients on the selected subnets.
IP Range Parameters
You can change any or all of the IP range parameters described in this section.
Subnet Address
Enter the subnet address or name.
DHCP Server (address)
Enter the IP address or the name of the Server. For cluster failover
configurations, enter 0.0.0.0 for the IP address.
IP Ranges
The IP Address Range is a group of unique IP addresses that the server can
assign to clients on a selected subnet. To assign an IP Address Range to a subnet:
1. Enter the beginning of the IP Address Range for the subnet: network, subnet,
and host address.
2. Enter the end of the IP Address Range.
