You can use multiple Address Range objects under a Subnet object. You can
also specify different range types, such as a range for dynamic address
assignment, a range for BOOTP clients, or a range to be excluded from the
subnet.
The IP Address object represents a single IP address. The IP Address object
must include an address number and an assignment type. The address can be
assigned manually, automatically, or dynamically, or it can be excluded from
DHCP address assignment.
You must use the DNS/DHCP Management Utility to configure IP Address
objects that are manually assigned or excluded from assignment. For
dynamically or automatically assigned client addresses, DHCP creates an IP
Address object under the subnet where the address is assigned.
An IP address can be assigned to a client based on the client's MAC address.
These IP Address objects can also receive specific DHCP options.
When configuring an individual IP Address object, you can provide specific
options that override global options or those set at the subnet level. When you
create or modify an IP Address object manually, you can also create the
necessary DNS resource records.
The DHCP Server object represents the DHCP server and contains a
multivalued attribute listing of the subnet ranges the DHCP server is
servicing. The DHCP server also contains all server-specific configuration
and policy information. A DHCP Server object can be contained in an O, OU,
C, or L.
The Subnet Pool object provides support for multiple subnets through a DHCP
or BOOTP forwarder by identifying a pool of subnets for remote LAN address
assignments. A Subnet Pool object can be contained in an O, OU, C, or L.
DHCP servers are not required to be on the local subnet to which they assign
addresses. If desired, they can be deployed centrally and service remote
subnets. Initial DHCP/BOOTP Discover requests, however, are not sent to a
