DHCP Server Configuration


Miscellaneous tab

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 the online book 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 (bootstrapserver 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.
