that lease was assigned is no longer permitted to use the leased IP address.

To configure DHCP:

1. Select

Services

>

DHCP Server

from the main menu tree.

The DHCP Server screen displays with the

Configuration

tab displayed.

2. Select the

Enable DHCP Server

checkbox to enable the switch’s internal DHCP Server for use with

global pools.

3. Select the

Ignore BOOTP

checkbox to bypass a BOOTP request.

4. Define an interval (from 1 -10 seconds) for the

Ping time interval

variable, the switch uses it to

intermittently ping and find out if the "DHCP client" requested IP is already used in network or not.

5. Refer to the following information as displayed within

Network Pool

field.

NOTE: DHCP Server setting updates are only implemented when the switch is restarted.

Pool Name

Displays the name of the IP pool from which IP addresses can be issued to DHCP client
requests on the current interface. The pool is the range of IP addresses for which addresses
can be assigned. However, the relationship between pools and interfaces is implicit, not
explicit as was the case with previous implementations of the switch.

Network

Displays the IP address for the clients on this interface.
