Configuring for a DHCP Server
Setting Up a DHCP Server
If you want this range of addresses to be used
only by HP-UX systems, then unselect this
button, and enter the text:
"HewlettPackard.HP-UX" in the text field
provided.
Automatic
Allocation
to Bootp
Clients: Leave this option disabled. Enabling it will
cause problems for bootp devices such as
printers and terminals which rely only on their
preconfigured server to respond to their boot
request.
Accept
New
Clients: Leave this option enabled.
Address
Lease
Time: The lease time should be set sufficiently long so
that if a client system is temporarily out of
service (off) for a time, its lease will not expire
too soon.
Infinite leases will never expire and disable the
IP-address reclamation features of DHCP. For
example: 2 weeks.
Boot file
name: You can leave this field blank.
Additional
Params.: There are many parameters that can be specified
in this screen for such things as the default
routers, time server, DNS server, and NIS
domain. You can specify as much or as little as
you like in this area.
Only the more basic parameters are actually
used by installation and boot configuration tools.
Callback
Routines: None is necessary.
