82 OES 2 SP2: Installation Guide
DHCP Server Context: Specify a context for the DHCP Server object.
Default: o=example
DHCP Server Object Name: Specify the name of the Server object that these DHCP
services will be running on.
This is the DHCP server object that contains a list of DHCP Services (configuration) served
by the DHCP Server.
Default: DHCP_example_server
Common DHCP Configuration Object Contexts
DHCP Locator Object: Specify the context for the DHCP Locator object.
The DHCP Locator object has references to dhcpServer and dhcpService objects.
Group Context: Specify the context for the DHCP Group object.
This object is used to grant the necessary rights to the eDirectory user used by the
DHCP server to access the DHCP objects.
Default: o=example
Log File Location: Specify the path and filename for the DHCP Services log file. You can
type the path manually or click Browse to locate the log.
Default: Usually /var/log/
LDAP Method
Static: Select this option if you do not want the DHCP server to query the LDAP server
for host details.
Dynamic: Select this option if you want the DHCP server to query the LDAP server on
every request for host details.
Selecting the dynamic LDAP method ensures that the responses you receive to queries
are accurate, but the server takes a longer time to respond.
Default: Static
Referrals
A referral is a message that the LDAP server sends to the LDAP client informing it that the
server cannot provide complete results and that more data might be on another LDAP server.
Chase Referral: Select this option if you want the DHCP server to follow referrals.
Do Not Chase Referral: Select this option to ignore LDAP referrals.
eDirectory Server Address or Host Name: The IP address shown is the default LDAP
server for this service. If you do not want to use the default, select a different LDAP server in
the list.
If you are installing into an existing tree, ensure that the server you select has a master
replica or read/write replica of eDirectory. If you need to add another LDAP server to the list,
add it by using the LDAP Configuration for Open Enterprise Services dialog box.
Default: The first server selected in the LDAP Configuration list of servers.
