7. Specify a DHCP Lease Time
The DHCP server grants an IP address for as long as it remains in active use. The lease time is the number
of seconds that an IP address is reserved for re-connection after its last use. Using very short leases,
DHCP can dynamically reconfigure networks in which there are more computers than there are available
IP addresses. This is useful, for example, in education and customer environments where mobile-unit
users change frequently. Use longer leases if there are fewer users.
8. If the MUs on this subnet are members of a domain, enter that name in the

9. DNS Forward Zone
10.Use the TFTP Server Address
the address of the boot server.
11.Use the Bootfile to provide the path to the Boot file.
12.Option 189 is used to specify the IP address and port address of a WIAP enabled switch, a switch that
can adopt Access Ports in WIAP mode. This field accepts a comma separated list, for example,
192.168.0.1:200, 100.1.200.24:24576. Only port 24576 is supported.
13.Option 43 is used to specify the IP address of a WIAP enabled switch, a switch that can adopt Access
Ports in WIAP mode. This field accepts a comma separated list, for example, 192.168.0.1, 100.1.200.24
14.Use the Static Mappings
specific wireless devices. Every wireless, 802.11x-standard device has a unique Media Access Control
(MAC) address.
This address is the device's hard-coded hardware number (shown on the bottom or back). An example of
a MAC address is 00:09:5B:45:9B:07.This MAC table of specified devices provides corresponding static
IP addresses for users, mobile units, and applications that may prefer or require such access.

3.3 Configuring Subnet Access

The WS 2000 Network Management System allows the administrator to set up access rules for subnet-to-
subnet and subnet-to-WAN communication. These access rules control communication between subnets
and the outside world (the WAN). Select
