7. From the

Network

field, use the

Associated Interface

drop-down menu to define the switch interface

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.

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 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.

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 switch.

13.Click

Cancel

to close the dialog without committing updates to the running 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.
