machine.
• A 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.
• A h-hybrid is a combination of two or all of the nodes mentioned above.
6. Change 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 modify (if necessary) the
switch interface used for the newly created DHCP configuration. Use VLAN1 as a default interface if no
others have been defined.
8. Additionally, define the IP Address and Subnet Mask used for DHCP discovery and requests between
the DHCP Server and DHCP clients.
9. 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 used the assigned address indefinitely.
• Actual Interval - Select this checkbox to manually define the time interval for clients to use the DHCP
server assigned addresses. The default lease time is 600 seconds, with a minimum setting of 10
seconds and a maximum value of 946080000 seconds.
10.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.
11.Modify 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.
12.Click OK to save and add the changes to the running configuration and close the dialog.
13.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 switch.
14.Click Cancel to close the dialog without committing updates to the running configuration.
5.2.1.2 Adding a New DHCP Pool
Add a new DHCP pool as needed to suit the address distribution requirements of your network.
To add a DHCP pool:
1. Select Services > DHCP Server from the main menu tree.
The DHCP Server screen displays with the Configuration tab displayed.
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.
