You are led through a set of steps by which you can modify the following
parameters:
DNS Zone for Dynamic Update: Specifies the DNS zone where
dynamic updating will occur. The specified DNS zone is then
notified of any changes to the subnet.
Domain Name: Specifies the domain name that will be combined
with the hostname received from the client computer. This name will
be given to DNS during dynamic DNS update. The domain name
must be part of the zone specified for dynamic DNS.
Subnet Pool Preference: Specifies the subnet pool to be used by the
subnet. This parameter setting is optional. Subnet pools enable the
DHCP server to assign addresses to multiple logical networks on a
single physical network. A subnet pool groups logical networks.
Default DHCP Server: Specifies a default DHCP server that will
assign address ranges for the subnet. This server is also the only
server that will respond to BOOTP requests for the subnet.
Comments: Provides an area for comment information about the
subnet. This is an optional parameter.
Lease Type: Specifies the length of time for an address assignment.
A lease type can be permanent or timed. Permanent leases never
expire; the client is assigned an IP address for an indefinite period.
Timed leases are defined in days, hours, and minutes. Timed leases
expire, unless the client renews the lease.
