❏ For more explanation of the sm field, subnet mask, and the

updated as described in “If Using DNS or WINS Host Names:”
on page 3-2.
3. Start the bootp daemon (if not already running), typically by
using the command: bootpd -a

default gateway address, and subnet mask.
UNIX:
Using DHCP
To assign the IP address in UNIX by using DHCP:
1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the dhcp
daemon. The entries made in this scope should include:
• Subnet mask
• Default router Internet address
• NetBIOS over TCP/IP name server Internet address(es)
• NetBIOS over TCP/IP node type
Node type:
The server can act either as a B Node (WINS
disabled), or as an H Node (WINS enabled).
• NetBIOS over TCP/IP scope ID
• Lease duration
2. Activate the scope.
3. The DHCPEnable configuration parameter must be left set to
the default yes (enabled). See“Configuration Parameter
Reference” on page 7-13.
Windows NT:
Using DHCP
To assign the IP address in Windows NT by using DHCP:
1. Install the DHCP service on an NT server.
2. Open the DHCP Manager (in Administrative Tools)
3. In the Server menu, use Add DHCP Server to Server List to
enter the IP address of each DHCP server on the network.
4. In the Scope menu for a specific server, select Create. Enter:
• Range of IP addresses in a subnet that can be leased
• Subnet mask for the address range
• IP addresses to be excluded from the scope
• Lease duration (can be defaulted)
• Scope name
