IBM DHCP Server Configuration Program Help
Use this notebook tab to set server parameters not set
elsewhere.
Fields and check boxes include:
- Client support
-
- Support BootP clients
- Check this box to provide DHCP server support for BootP clients
(supportBootp keyword). If this box is not checked, the server will not
respond to requests from BootP clients.
If the server previously supported BootP clients and has been reconfigured
to not support BootP clients, the address binding for any BootP client that
was established before the reconfiguration will be maintained until the BootP
client sends another request (when it is restarting). At that time, the server
will not respond and the binding will be removed.
- Support unlisted clients
- If the box is checked, the server responds to requests from any DHCP
client (supportUnlistedClients keyword). If this box is not checked, the
server responds only to requests from DHCP clients specifically listed in the
configuration file.
- Broadcasting for Bridged Token Ring Environments
-
- All routes broadcast
- Check this box to have the DHCP server broadcast all replies
(allRoutesBroadcast keyword).
- Single route broadcast
- Check this box to have the DHCP server use the routing information field
on the incoming packet from a DHCP client to broadcast replies. Otherwise,
single route broadcast is used to send replies. For example, use single-route
broadcast for bridged token-ring networks that implement a spanning-tree
algorithm.
