Configuring for a DHCP Server
Setting Up a DHCP Server
f. Now you will need to fill in the information on this screen. Some
information may require additional research if you are not
familiar with the terms or with your network.
Group
Name: This can be any name that isn't already defined
as a DHCP group. For example: group1
Subnet
Address: This is the portion of an IP address that is not
masked off by the subnet mask (see below). If
you don't want to figure this out, then just enter
one of the IP addresses in the range you picked
along with the correct subnet mask and SAM
will take care of the calculation. For example:
15.1.48.50
Subnet
Mask: This depends on the "class" of your network, and
basically determines how an IP address is
separated into a network number and a host
specific number. Press F1 in this field for more
information. For example: 255.255.255.0
Subnet
Address
Pool: Press this button to select the range of IP
addresses that you allocated in Step 1. A new
screen will be displayed where you can enter the
Start and End address. If there are addresses
within the range that you picked that you do not
want allocated via DHCP, you can use the
Reserved Addresses button to specify those (or
ranges of them).
Allow Any
Device
Class: The SAM default is to allow any type of DHCP
device to use the group of IP address you are
configuring. This may be undesirable if you use a
different method (or a different DHCP server or
group) for managing systems such as PCs
running Win95™ or NT™.
