IBM DHCP Server Configuration Program Help
Use this notebook tab to specify the order and priority in
which IP addresses are served from a group of subnets on the same wire.
Fields and other settings include:
- Subnet pool order
- Provides a list box of subnets that you can arrange in priority order.
Click an address pool in the list and click Move Up or Move Down to relocate
the subnet in the priority of service. Subnets higher in the list serve
addresses before subnets lower in the list.
- Address assignment
- Determines whether IP addresses are served in order, or on a round-robin
basis.
Fields and other settings include:
- In order
- Check this box to have the DHCP server provide IP addresses from the first
address pool in the list, exhausting the first group's IP address range
before serving IP addresses from the next address pool in the list (inOrder
keyword).
- Round robin
- Check this box to have the DHCP server provide the first IP address from
the address pool at the top of the pool priority list, the next IP address
from the next lower-priority pool in the list (in a round-robin sequence),
repeating the cycle until addresses are exhausted equally from all address
pools (balance keyword).
