Table 20 Configuration items
Item Descri
p
tion
IP Pool Name Enter the name of the static address pool.
IP Address Enter an IP address and a mask.
The IP address cannot be the IP address of any interface on the DHCP server.
Otherwise, an IP address conflict might occur and the bound client cannot obtain an
IP address correctly.
You can enter a mask length or a mask in dotted decimal notation.
Mask
Client MAC Address
Enter the client MAC address or the client ID.
Some DHCP clients, such as a WWW server, need fixed IP addresses. To provide a
fixed IP address for such a client, you can statically bind the MAC address or ID of the
client to an IP address in the static DHCP address pool. When the client requests an IP
address, the DHCP server assigns the IP address in the static address pool to the client.
IMPORTANT:
• When a device serves as a DHCP client or BOOTP client, you must bind the
DHCP client's ID to an IP address or bind the BOOTP client's MAC address
to an IP address on the DHCP server. Otherwise, the DHCP or BOOTP client
cannot obtain a static IP address.
• If the interfaces on a DHCP client share the same MAC address, you need
to specify the client ID, rather than the MAC address, in the static address
pool to identify the requesting interface. Otherwise, the client might fail to
obtain an IP address.
Client ID
Client Domain Name
Enter the domain name suffix for the client.
With the suffix assigned, the client only needs to input part of a domain name, and the
system adds the domain name suffix for name resolution.
