If you want to offer network settings with a DHCP server, you must configure the settings of each network interface that should offer network settings.

 

Activate DHCP: Activates the DHCP server at the selected network interface.

IP address: Select the IP address where the DHCP server should answer DHCP requests of the clients.

IP range: Set the IP range that should be available for the clients. Enter the first and the last IP of the range.

DNS server: IP addresses of the DNS servers that are transmitted to the clients.

Router: The IP address of the router (default gateway, standard route) transmitted to the client.

WINS server: IP addresses of WINS servers that are transmitted to the clients.

NTP server: IP address of NTP (network time protocol) servers.

TFTP server IP or hostname: IP address or hostname of a TFTP server that can offer information for devices that load their system or system configuration over the network (e.g. VoIP devices).

Reservations: Assign a specified IP address to a specific network device defined by a specific MAC address. These reservations can be used for WLAN clients for example so that other devices will not get an IP address.
