HGW-BWH CONFIGURATION
Parameters Description
default-lease-time
Required parameters
Global entry Indicates how long a queried IP address is reserved for a client in seconds, before it
should request an extension.
max-lease-time
Required parameters
Global entry Indicates how long a queried IP address can be possessed by a client in seconds, before
it must request an extension.
subnet The “Subnet” parameter defines the assigned DHCP settings.Here, such an entry must
be added for each IP interface/network to operate.The description can be found in a
separate chapter.
Example of a subnet block and the included parameters and their description:
subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.2.100 192.168.2.200;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
}
Parameters Description
subnet
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
netmask
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx{….} Provides the IP address range of the network, including the network mask.The IP
address for “subnet” must be entered with the end digit 0.
range Defines the range of IP address, which the DHCP server can assign to the clients. This
range cannot contain the IP address of the server.If a range from 192.168.2.100 to
192.168.2.200 is allocated, a range of 101 IP addresses is available to assign.To avoid
collisions, ensure that these addresses are not permanently assigned.
default-lease-time Indicates how long a queried IP address is reserved for a client in seconds, before it
should request an extension.In the subnet configuration, this is only valid for the specified
subnet!If no entry is available, the global variable is used.
max-lease-time Indicates how long a requested IP address can be possessed by a client in seconds,
before it must request an extension.In the subnet configuration, this is only valid for the
specified subnet! If no entry is available, the global variable is used.
option routers With option routers, where to send server data packets that cannot be delivered in local
networks (due to the address of the source and destination host, as well as the subnet
mask) is defined.
This corresponds to the Autoexec command SET IP GATEWAY
10.1.3 Configuring the DHCP Server
To use the DHCP server, the following settings are necessary. These must be adjusted to the
desired application, as well as to the requirements of your system.
