Send the DHCP Server IP address as a DNS Proxy Server: This option configures the DHCP
n
Server to send its IP address to a DHCP client as the first DNS server in its lease information.
This Digi device supports a DNS Proxy feature that will relay DNS requests and responses
between DNS clients and servers. The DNS Proxy is not a feature of the DHCP Server itself, but
rather it is managed elsewhere in the configuration settings for this Digi device. For
DHCP client to use DNS Proxy effectively, you must enable DNS proxy in the DHCP server
configuration and the DNS Proxy settings. For more information, see the description of the
Enable DNS Proxy Service setting in
default.
Static Lease Reservations: A static lease reservation is a specific IP address paired with a
n
client's MAC address, which reserves the IP address for that client's use only. This assures that
a client always receives a lease for the same IP address and that no other client obtains a
lease for that address.
To add a reservation, type the IP address and MAC Address values, select or clear the Enable
check box, and then press the Add button.
After adding a reservation, you may click the IP address or MAC address of that entry in the
table, permitting you to specify or modify the lease duration for this reservation.
The Enable check box for the entry permits a reservation to be disabled without actually
removing the entry, then enabled again at a later time.
Use the Remove link to permanently remove a reservation from the DHCP server
configuration.
Use the Remove All link to permanently remove all reservations from the DHCP server
configuration.
Address Exclusions: A specific set of IP addresses to exclude from the scope. The DHCP server
n
will not grant leases to clients for any IP address in the exclusion range.
To add an exclusion, type the starting and ending IP addresses, select or clear the Enable
check box, and then press the Add button.
The Enable check box for the entry permits an exclusion to be disabled without actually
removing the entry, then enabled again at a later time.
Use the Remove link to permanently remove an exclusion from the DHCP server configuration.
Use the Remove All link to permanently remove all exclusions from the DHCP server
configuration.
Apply button: You must click Apply to save changes you make to the DHCP server settings. If
n
you leave this page without applying the changes, those changes will be discarded.
