Table 13-5: DHCP Server Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Description
IP Address Range (Start and
End)
Determines the number of hosts that may be connected to the
network in this subnet. `Start' specifies the first IP address that may
be assigned in this subnet and `End' specifies the last IP address in
the range.
Subnet Mask A mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to.
An example of a subnet mask value is 255.255.0.0.
Lease Time Each device will be assigned an IP address by the DHCP server for
a limited time (`Lease Time') when it connects to the network.
When the lease expires the server will determine if the computer
has disconnected from the network. If it has, then the server may
reassign this IP address to a newly-connected computer. This
feature ensures that IP addresses that are not in use will become
available for other computers on the network.
Provide host name if not
specified by client
If the DHCP client does not have a host name, the Telephone
Adapter will assign the client a default name.
