The "DHCP server" service presents 4 configuration zones:
Default settings This menu is reserved for the configuration of DNS parameters (domain
l
name, primary and secondary DNS servers) and the default gateway sent to DHCP clients.
Address range For each range, specify a group of addresses to be allocated to users. The
l
address will be allocated for the duration determined in the advanced configuration.
Reservation The address allocated by the service stays the same for hosts listed in the
l
column Reservation.
Advanced properties This menu allows enabling or disabling the automatic sending of the
l
proxy configuration files for client hosts (WPAD: Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol). Additional
servers can also be defined (WINS, SMTP, POP3, etc.) and the duration of the assignment of IP
addresses distributed by the DHCP service can be customized.

Default settings

If the DHCP server option has been selected, global parameters can be configured here, such as
the domain name, DNS servers, etc. that client hosts will use.

In order for a DHCP server to provide IP addresses, an address pool from which the server can
pick addresses has to be configured.
