IBM DHCP Server Configuration Program Help
Use this tab to specify whether to update A records. You
can also specify a bootstrap server for DHCP or BootP clients.
Note:
For more information on updating A records, see
DHCP Server Administration
.
Fields and settings include:
- Automatically update DDNS A record on client's behalf if requested
- Specify whether to request automatic DHCP server updates of A (host
name-to-IP-address) records (proxyARec standard keyword).
- Verify client ID before performing update
- Specify whether the DHCP server is to verify that the client ID has not
changed since the host name was last updated (proxyARec protected keyword).
- If client omits a domain name, use server-assigned domain name?
- Specify whether the DHCP server is to append the domain name when updating
A records (appendDomainname keyword).
- Transform 802.3 MAC addresses to canonical form?
- For a translation-bridged subnet, enables the server to correctly send
replies to all clients.
- Next Bootstrap Server
- Enter the IP address of a bootstrap server for DHCP or BootP clients
(homeDir keyword). Some clients have no hard drive and cannot boot themselves.
This is the address from which a client retrieves its operating system. This
can be an inherited value or you can specify it.
- DDNS server for PTR updates
- For a subnet, enter the IP address or host name of the DDNS server that
updates PTR records. This field does not appear on other notebooks.
