Figure 2 eDirectory Objects for DHCP
Subnet Object
The Subnet object represents a subnet and is the most fundamental DHCP
object. The Subnet object can be contained in an Organization (O), an
Organizational Unit (OU), a Country (C), or a Locality (L). The Subnet object
acts as a container object for the IP Address and Address Range objects. A
Subnet object's specific DHCP options and configuration parameters apply to
the entire subnet and override global options.
Address Range Object
The Address Range object is primarily used to denote a range of addresses to
create a pool of addresses for dynamic address assignment or to identify a
range of addresses to be excluded from address assignment. Optionally, the
Address Range object stores the start of a hostname that can be assigned to
clients when addresses are assigned.
