IP Services—IP Settings, DHCP, and DNS
DHCP Server
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 zl
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 hexadecimal
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 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 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.
