3. System Configuration
The DHCP server will sequentially issue IP addresses from a specified address pool(s):
• Click Add in the Dynamic Address Allocation Pools field.
• Enter the DHCP Pool Start Address and End Address, then click Apply.
The DHCP server also supports pre-assigning IP addresses to be allocated only to specific MAC addresses and reserving IP
addresses to be used by connected hosts with fixed IP addresses. To reserve IP addresses for a particular host:
• Click Add in the Reserved Addresses field.
• Enter the Hostname, the Hardware Address (MAC) and the Statically Reserved IP address for the DHCP client, then
click Apply.
When DHCP has initially allocated hosts’ addresses, it is recommended to copy these into the pre-assigned list so the same IP
address will be reallocated in the event of a reboot.
