●
A b-broadcast (broadcast node) uses broadcasting to query nodes on the network for the owner of
a NetBIOS name.
●
A p-peer (peer-to-peer node) uses directed calls to communicate with a known NetBIOS name
server, such as a Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server, for the IP address of a NetBIOS
machine.
●
An m-mixed is a mixed node that uses broadcasted queries to find a node, and failing that, queries
a known p-node name server for the address.
●
An h-hybrid is a combination of two or all of the nodes mentioned above.
6 Enter the name of the boot file used for this pool within the Boot File parameter.
7 From the Network field, use the Associated Interface drop-down menu to define the controller interface
is used for the newly created DHCP configuration. Use VLAN1 as a default interface if no others
have been defined.
Additionally, define the IP Address and Subnet Mask used for DHCP discovery and requests between
the DHCP Server and DHCP clients.
NOTE
The IP address and subnet mask of the pool are required to match the addresses of the layer 3 interface in order
for the addresses to be supported through that interface.
8 Within the Lease Time field, define one of the two kinds of leases the DHCP Server assigns to its
clients:
●
Infinite - If selected, the client can use the assigned address indefinitely.
●
Actual Interval - Select this checkbox to manually define the interval for clients to use DHCP
supplied addresses. The default lease time is 1 day, with a minimum setting of 60 seconds and a
maximum value of 946080000 seconds.
9 Within the Servers field, change the server type used with the pool and use the Insert and Remove
buttons to add and remove the IP addresses of the routers used.
10 Provide the Included Ranges (starting and ending IP addresses) for this particular pool.
Use the Insert and Remove buttons as required to define the range of supported IP addresses.
A network pool without any include range is as good as not having a pool, because it won't be
useful in assigning addresses.
11 Click OK to save and add the changes to the running configuration and close the dialog.
12 Refer to the Status field.
The Status is the current state of the requests made from the applet. Requests are any “SET/GET”
operation from the applet. The Status field displays error messages if something goes wrong in the
transaction between the applet and the controller.
13 Click Cancel to close the dialog without committing updates to the running configuration
Configuring DHCP Global Options
The DHCP Server screen’s Configuration and Host Pool tabs can be used to display an additional Global
Options screen.
To define new global name and value and send it to other peer controllers in the mobility domain:
