DNS Server
Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers are passed to the DHCP clients along
with the IP address and the subnet mask.

Enter the IP address of a DHCP server in dotted decimal notation.
Source
Address
Enter the source IP address that the Switch adds to DHCP requests from clients on this VLAN
before forwarding them. If you leave this field set to 0.0.0.0, the Switch automatically sets the
source IP address of the DHCP requests to the IP address of the interface on which the packet is
received.
The source IP address helps DHCP clients obtain an appropriate IP address when you configure
multiple routing domains on a VLAN.
Option 82
Profile
Select a pre-defined DHCP option 82 profile that the Switch applies to all ports in this VLAN. The
Switch adds the Circuit ID sub-option and/or Remote ID sub-option specified in the profile to
DHCP requests that it relays to a DHCP server.
Add Click this to create a new entry or to update an existing one.
This saves your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these changes if it is
turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes
to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
Clear Click Clear to reset the fields to the factory defaults.
