2. Enter the domain name of the client in the Domain name text box.
3. Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers separated by a comma (,) in the DNS server(s) text box.
4. Enter the duration of the DHCP lease in the Lease time text box. Select any of the following values from
the drop-down list next to Lease time:
l Minutes—For minutes, specify a value between 2 and 59.
l Hours—For hours, specify a value between 1 and 23.

5. Enter the network range for the client IP addresses in the Network text box. The system generates a
network range automatically that is sufficient for 254 addresses. If you want to provide simultaneous
access to more number of clients, specify a larger range.
6. Specify the subnet mask details for the network range in the Mask text box.
7. Click OK to apply the changes.
