6. Enter either a hexadecimal client identifier (ID) in the Client ID field or a
MAC address in the Hardware Address field, but not both.
When a device sends a DHCP request, the request includes a client ID,
either a customized ID or the device’s MAC address. The Wireless Edge
Services xl Module uses this value to match the device to the correct host
pool and fixed IP address.
A customized client ID, entered in the Client ID field, can use ASCII or
hexadecimal characters. Typically, a customized client ID uses hexadeci-
mal characters. Use colons to separate the hexadecimal characters.
7. Set up other options much as you would for a network pool:
a. In the Servers section, specify the IP addresses of the servers that
stations might need to reach to function properly.
i. In the left column, select the server type.
ii. In the right column, specify the IP addresses for the correspond-
ing 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 the subnetwork on which you have placed this
device. You should also enter the IP address of one or more DNS
servers.
If this network uses NetBIOS or BOOTP, you should specify servers
for those protocols.
b. 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).
c. If this client will use NetBIOS, in the NetBios Node field, use the drop-
down menu to select the NetBIOS node type.
d. If this device is a BOOTP client, in the Boot File field, enter the name
of the file from which the device should boot.
8. Click the OK button to apply your changes to the running-config. The new
host pool entry is shown on the Network Setup > DHCP Server > Host Pool
screen.
9. Click the Save link at the top of the Web browser interface to save the
changes to the startup-config.
You can create multiple host pools.
