Set a DHCP server global configuration by defining
whether BOOTP requests are ignored and by defining DHCP global server options.
To define DHCP server global settings:
Procedure
Select the Global Settings tab and ensure that the
Activate DHCP Server Policy button remains selected.
This option must remain selected to
implement the configuration as part of the access point profile.
DHCP Server Policy - Add/Edit - Global
Settings Tab
Set the following parameters within the Configuration
field:
Ignore BOOTP Requests
Select the check box to ignore BOOTP requests. BOOTP (boot
protocol) requests boot remote systems within the network.
BOOTP messages are encapsulated inside UDP messages and
forwarded. This feature is disabled by default, so unless
selected, BOOTP requests are forwarded.
Ping Timeout
Set an interval (from 1 -10 seconds) for the DHCP server ping
timeout. The timeout is the intermittent ping and discover
interval to determine whether a client requested IP address
is already used.
Set the Activation Criteria for the
DHCP server policy:
Use the drop-down menu
to select the criteria from one of none,
vrrp-master, cluster-master or
rf-domain-manager. The default value is
none.
Refer to the Global DHCP Server Options field.
Use the + Add Row button at the bottom of the
field to add a new global DHCP server option.
Select the radio button of an existing global DHCP server option and
select the Delete icon to remove it from the list of those
available.
Use the Type drop-down menu
to specify whether the DHCP option is being defined as a numerical IP
address, an ASCII string, or a hex string.
Highlight an entry from within
the Global Options screen and click the
Remove button to delete the name and
value.
Click OK to save the updates to the DHCP server global
settings.
Click Reset to revert the screen to its last saved
configuration.
