DHCP 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 However, if the network pool configuration is obsolete it can be deleted.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. Select Alias to use a network alias with the subnet configuration.
For more information see Alias on page 7-34.
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. An FQDN consists of a hostname
plus a domain name. For example, computername.domain.com. Select Alias to use a
string alias with the domain name configuration. For more information see Alias on page
7-34.
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. Select Alias to use a host alias with the DNS servers configuration. For
more information see Alias on page 7-34.
