Configuring the Default DHCP Scope for Client IP Assignment
The DHCPDynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to an IP-enabled device from a defined range of numbers configured for a given network. server is a built-in server, used for networks in which clients are assigned IP address by the virtual controller. You can customize the DHCPDynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to an IP-enabled device from a defined range of numbers configured for a given network. pool subnetSubnet is the logical division of an IP network. and address range to provide simultaneous access to more number of clients. The largest address pool supported is 2048. The default size of the IP address pool is 512.
You can configure a domain name, DNSDomain Name System. A DNS server functions as a phone book for the intranet and Internet users. It converts human-readable computer host names into IP addresses and IP addresses into host names. It stores several records for a domain name such as an address 'A' record, name server (NS), and mail exchanger (MX) records. The Address 'A' record is the most important record that is stored in a DNS server, because it provides the required IP address for a network peripheral or element. server, and DHCPDynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to an IP-enabled device from a defined range of numbers configured for a given network. server for client IP assignment using the WebUI or the CLICommand-Line Interface. A console interface with a command line shell that allows users to execute text input as commands and convert these commands to appropriate functions..
In the Old WebUI
1. Navigate to the > tab.
2. Enter the domain name of the client in the Domain name text box.
3. Enter the IP addresses of the DNSDomain Name System. A DNS server functions as a phone book for the intranet and Internet users. It converts human-readable computer host names into IP addresses and IP addresses into host names. It stores several records for a domain name such as an address 'A' record, name server (NS), and mail exchanger (MX) records. The Address 'A' record is the most important record that is stored in a DNS server, because it provides the required IP address for a network peripheral or element. servers separated by a comma (,) in the DNS Server(s) text box.
4. Enter the duration of the DHCPDynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to an IP-enabled device from a defined range of numbers configured for a given network. lease in the Lease time text box. Select any of the following values from the drop-down list next to Lease time:
Minutes—For minutes, specify a value between 2 and 59.
Hours—For hours, specify a value between 1 and 23.
Days —For days, specify a value between 1 and 30.
The default lease time is 0.
5. Enter the network range for the client IP addresses in the text box. The system generates a network range automatically that is sufficient for 254 addresses. If you want to provide simultaneous access to more number of clients, specify a larger range.
6. Specify the subnetSubnet is the logical division of an IP network. mask details for the network range in the text box.
7. Click OK to apply the changes.
