Enter the network IPv4 address and subnet mask for the DHCP client here. Enter the next server IPv4 address here. The boot image file is stored on this server and can be retrieved by DHCP clients using this IP address. The server is typically a TFTP server. Only one next server IP address can be specified. Enter the IPv4 address of the default router for the DHCP client here. Up to 8 IPv4 address can be entered here. The IP address of the router should be on the same subnet as the client's subnet. Routers are listed in the order of preference. If default routers are already configured, the default routers configured later will be added to the default interface list. Enter the IPv4 address to be used by the DHCP client as the DNS server here. Up to 8 IPv4 address can be entered here. Servers are listed in the order of preference. If DNS servers are already configured, the DNS servers configured later will be added to the DNS server list. Enter the WINS name server IPv4 address for the DHCP client here. Up to 8 IPv4 address can be entered here. Servers are listed in the order of preference. If name servers are already configured, the name server configured later will be added to the default interface list. Select the NetBIOS node type for Microsoft DHCP clients here. The node type determines the method that NetBIOS uses to register and resolve names. Options to choose from are Broadcast, Peer To Peer, Mixed, and Hybrid. A Broadcast system uses broadcasts. A Peer To Peer (p-node) system uses only point-to-point name queries to a name server (WINS). A Mixed (m-node) system broadcasts first, and then queries the name server. A Hybrid (h-node) system queries the name server first, and then broadcasts. The Hybrid type is recommended. Enter and select the lease time for an IPv4 address that is assigned from the address pool here. Enter the Days in the range from 0 to 365. Select the Hours and Minutes from the drop-down menus. Alternatively, the Infinite option can be selected to specify that the lease time is unlimited. Click the Apply button to accept the changes made. Click the Back button to return to the previous window. DHCP Server Exclude Address This window is used to view and exclude a range of IPv4 addresses from being allocated to the DHCP client. The DHCP server automatically allocates addresses in DHCP address pools to DHCP clients. All the addresses except the interface's IP address on the router and the excluded address(es) specified here are available for allocation. Multiple ranges of addresses can be excluded. To remove a range of excluded addresses, administrators must specify the exact range of addresses previously configured. 68
