4. Set the following General parameters from within the Basic Settings tab:
5. Use the IP and Excluded IP Address Ranges to define the range of included (starting and ending IP
addresses) addresses for this particular pool.
a. Select the + Add Row button at the bottom of the IP addresses field to add a new range. At any time
you can select the radio button of an existing IP address range and select the Delete icon to remove
it from the list of those available.
b. Enter a viable range of IP addresses in the IP Start and IP End columns. This is the range of
addresses available for assignment to DHCP supported wireless clients within the network.
c. Select the Create icon or Edit icon within the Class Policy column to display the DHCP Server
Policy screen if a class policy is not available from the drop-down menu.
d. Refer to the Excluded IP Address Range field and select the +Add Row button. Add ranges of IP
address to exclude from lease to requesting DHCP clients. Having ranges of unavailable addresses
is a good practice to ensure IP address resources are in reserve. Select the Delete icon as needed
to remove an excluded address range.
e. Select OK to save the updates to the DHCP Pool Basic Settings tab. Select Reset to revert to the last
saved configuration.
Network Pool If adding a new pool, a name is required. The pool is the range of IP
addresses defined for DHCP assignment or lease. The name assigned
cannot be modified as part of the edit process. However, if the network
pool configuration is obsolete it can be deleted. The name cannot exceed
32 characters.
Subnet Define the IP address and Subnet Mask used for DHCP discovery and
requests between the DHCP Server and DHCP clients. The IP address and
subnet mask of the pool are required to match the addresses of the layer 3
interface for the addresses to be supported through that interface.
Domain Name Provide the domain name used with this pool. Domain names are not case
sensitive and can contain alphabetic or numeric letters or a hyphen. A fully
qualified domain name (FQDN) consists of a host name plus a domain
name. For example, computername.domain.com.
DNS Servers Define one or a group of Domain Name Servers (DNS) to translate domain
names to IP addresses. Select clear to remove any single IP address as
needed. Up to 8 IP addresses can be supported.
Lease Time DHCP leases provide addresses for defined times to various clients. If a
client does not use the leased address for the defined time, that IP address
can be re-assigned to another DHCP supported client. Select this option to
assign a lease time in either Seconds (1 - 31, 622, 399), Minutes
(1 - 527,040), Hours (1 - 8,784) or Days (1 - 366). The default setting is
enabled, with a lease time of 1 day.
Default Routers After a DHCP client has booted, the client begins sending packets to its
default router. Set the IP address of one or a group of routers used to map
host names into IP addresses available to DHCP supported clients. Up to 8
default router IP addresses are supported.
