(config)> network advanced sequential_dhcp_allocation true
(config)>
Because sequential mode doesnot use a hash based on the client's MAC address, when DHCP
lease expires, the client isnot likely to get the same IPaddress assigned to it. Therefore,

8. Optional DHCPserver settings:
a. Click to expand Advanced settings.
b. Determine how the DHCPserver should broadcast the gateway server:
(config)> network interface my_lan ipv4 dhcp_server advanced gateway
value
(config)>
where value is one of:
n
none: No gateway isbroadcast by the DHCPserver. Client destinationsmust be
resolvable without a gateway.
n
auto: Broadcasts the IX20 device'sgateway.
n
custom: Allowsyou to identify the IPaddress of a custom gateway to be broadcast:
(config)> network interface my_lan ipv4 dhcp_server advanced
gateway_custom ip_address
(config)>
The default is auto.
c. Determine how the DHCPserver should broadcast the the MTU:
(config)> network interface my_lan ipv4 dhcp_server advanced mtu value
(config)>
where value is one of:
n
none: An MTU of length 0 is broadcast. This is not recommended.
n
auto: No MTU is broadcast and clientswill determine their own MTU.
n
custom: Allowsyou to identify a custom MTU to bebroadcast:
(config)> network interface my_lan ipv4 dhcp_server advanced
mtu_custom mtu
(config)>
The default is auto.
d. Set the domain name that should be appended to host names:
(config)> network interface my_lan ipv4 dhcp_server advanced domain_
suffix name
(config)>
e. Set the IPaddress or host name of the primary and secondary DNS, the primary and
secondary NTPserver, and the primary and secondary WINSservers:
