Configuring the DHCP server

The DHCP server assigns the following items to devices that need to be automatically configured:
•
IP addresses.
•
Paths of the configuration files or scripts.
Configuration guidelines
When you configure the DHCP server, follow these guidelines:
•
For devices for which you have prepared different configuration files, perform the following
tasks for each of them on the DHCP server:
Create a DHCP address pool.
Configure a static address binding.
Specify a configuration file or script file.
•
For devices for which you have prepared the same configuration file, perform the following
tasks on the DHCP server:
Create a DHCP address pool for the devices.
Configure a static address binding for each of the devices in the address pool.
Specify the configuration file for the devices.
•
If all devices on a subnet share the same configuration file or script file, perform the following
tasks on the DHCP server:
Configure dynamic address allocation.
Specify the configuration file or script file for the devices.
The configuration file can contain only the common settings for the devices. You can provide a
method for the device administrators to change the configurations after their devices start up.
