DHCP Server Profiles
Creating profiles allows the creation of sets of parameters that are common to different
instances of the DHCP server, operating on different interfaces.
The parameters for configuring a profile are:
•
Lease time.
This allows the time in seconds to be specified for an IP address to be
assigned following a request from a DHCP client. After the indicated time, if the
DHCP has not requested a renewal, the IP address will be considered available for
dealing with new requests.
•
1st DNS server.
This allows the specification of the primary DNS server IP
address which the DHCP server will provide to the DHCP client. If left blank
(0.0.0.0) no information on DNS servers will be sent to the client.
•
2nd DNS server
. This allows the IP address of a secondary DNS server to be
specified to the DHCP client. If left blank (0.0.0.0) this means that no information
will be sent to the client in this respect.
•
WINS server
. This allows the IP address of the WINS server to be established,
which will be notified to the DHCP client. WINS is a names resolution system
owned by Microsoft for equipment executing the Windows operating system.
•
DNS Domain Name
. This establishes the DNS domain to be used by the client for
creating its full DNS name.
•
Boot TFTP Server
. This establishes the IP address of the TFTP server that stores
the remote boot file, thereby allowing the client to execute a request to download
the file.
•
Bootfile Name
. This establishes the name of the remote boot file which the client
will request from the TFTP server configured in the preceding point.
