5.4 DHCP server

Figure 5.19 DHCP server — reserving an IP address

or by dashes— for example:

00-bc-a5-f2-1e-50

The MAC address of a network adapter can be detected with operating system tools

(i.e. with the ipconfig command) or with a special application provided by the net-

work adapter manufacturer.

• host name — DHCP requests of most DHCP clients include host names (i.e. all

Windows operating systems), or the client can be set to send a host name (i.e. Linux

operating system).

Click Advanced to set DHCP parameters which will accompany the address when leased.

If the IP address is already included to a scope, DHCP parameters belonging to the scope

are used automatically. In the Lease Reservation dialog window, additional parameters

can be speciﬁed or/and new values can be entered for parameters yet existing.

Note: Another way to reserve an IP address is to go to the Leases tab, ﬁnd the IP address

leased dynamically to the host and reserve it (for details, see below).

Leases

IP scopes can be viewed in the Leases tab. These scopes are displayed in the form of

trees. All current leases within the appropriate subnet are displayed in these trees.

Note: Icon color represents address status (see below). Icons marked with R represent

reserved addresses.
