Pool Options
Use the DHCP Server Pool Options page to configure additional DHCP pool options,
including vendor-defined options. DHCP options are collections of data with type
codes that indicate how the options should be used. When a client broadcasts a
request for information, the request includes the option codes that correspond to the
information the client wants the DHCP server to supply.
Lease Expiration
Indicates whether the information the server provides to the client
should expire.
Enable: Allows the lease to expire. If you select this option, you
can specify the amount of time the lease is valid in the Lease
Duration field.
Disable: Sets an infinite lease time. For Dynamic bindings, an
infinite lease time implies a lease period of 60 days. For a Man-
ual binding, an infinite lease period never expires.
Lease Duration
The number of Days, Hours, and Minutes the lease is valid. This field
cannot be configured if the Lease Expiration is disabled.
