DNS/DHCP Management Console
A DHCP Server object must be created and identified in order for DHCP clients to request dynamic address assignments. To access DHCP Server object property pages, select a DHCP Server object from the utility window. Property pages will also appear after a new DHCP Server object has been created if the Define Additional Properties check box is checked.
Server: Use this tab to view subnet address ranges and subnets serviced by the selected DHCP server. The Server tab can also be used to enter user comments into the field.
Subnets and subnet address ranges serviced by the server are specified using the options pages of the Subnet and Subnet Address Range property pages.
You can also view the IP address utilization of all the subnets serviced by the selected DHCP server. For more information, see IP Address Utilization.
Options: Use this tab to set the audit level, set event and alarm options, and enable the audit trail log. Options can also be used to set mobile user options and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) trap options.
Sync Wait Time: Specifies the maximum time the DHCP server should wait to synchronize with the eDirectoryTM database when it loads.
Ping Enable: Check this check box to ping an address to ensure that the address is not in use before it is assigned. Note that enabling ping increases the traffic on the network.
