6. In the Lease Time section, specify the lease length for IP addresses
assigned by the DHCP server. Either select Infinite or specify a lease time
(in dd:hh:mm format).
The maximum number of days is 365, the maximum number of hours is 23,
and the maximum number of minutes is 59. Therefore, the maximum lease
time is roughly one year.
7. In the Servers section, specify the IP addresses of the servers that stations
might need to reach to function properly.
a. In the left column, select the server type.
b. Click the top of the right column and specify the IP addresses for the
corresponding server type. Use the Insert and Remove buttons as
needed to add and delete additional servers for the server type.
At a minimum, you should enter the IP address of the default router
(default gateway) for this VLAN and at least one DNS server. You can add
up to eight default routers, eight DNS servers, eight NetBIOS servers, and
one BOOTP server. (NetBIOS servers are called Windows Internet Naming
Service [WINS] servers. These WINS servers map devices’ names to their
IP addresses.)
8. In the Included Ranges section, click the Insert button and specify the
starting and ending IP addresses to be included in the address pool.
The DHCP server will assign IP addresses only from this range. All of the
IP addresses in the range must be within the subnetwork of the VLAN
selected as the Associated Interface.
Use the Insert and Remove buttons as needed to add and delete additional
address ranges.
9. If necessary, set options for a network that uses NetBIOS:
a. In the NetBios Node field, use the drop-down menu to select the
NetBIOS node type.
The NetBIOS node type determines how stations resolve NetBIOS
names to IP addresses, whether by broadcasting messages, by using
a WINS server (peer-to-peer), or by a combination of the two. You can
select one of four options:
b (Broadcast)
–h (Hybrid)
–m (Mixed)
p (Peer-to-Peer)
