2. If Dynamic DNS services are needed on the subnet, check the box labeled Enable Dynamic DNS.
Enabling Dynamic DNS will allow domain name information to be updated when the IP address
associated with that domain changes.
When a MU associates and gets an IP address from the DHCP server, the DHCP server then updates the
DNS server with the IP allotted to the corresponding hostname when DDNS is enabled.
Any DHCP client can send the User Class Id either in the Single or Multiple user class ID format. The
Single or Multiple User class option is provided to enable the switch to interpret the correct format in
which the user class ID is sent by the client. The switch then retrieves the correct value of the user class
ID sent by the DHCP client based on the selected format. This same user class ID format is used for the
DDNS messages.
3. Specify the address of a Primary DNS Server. The Internet Server Provider (ISP) or a network
administrator can provide this address.
A DNS server translates a domain name, such as www.symbol.com, into an IP address that networks can
use.
4. Specify the address of a Secondary DNS Server if available.
5. Specify the Default Gateway IP address for this subnet's presence on the network. This IP address
should be the same as used on the Subnet screen.
6. If your network has a Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server, specify its IP address in the WINS
Server field.
A WINS server allows you to map NetBIOS names to IP addresses.
7. Specify a DHCP Lease Time period in seconds for available IP addresses.
The DHCP server grants an IP address for as long as it remains in active use. The lease time is the number
of seconds that an IP address is reserved for re-connection after its last use. Using very short leases,
DHCP can dynamically reconfigure networks in which there are more computers than there are available
IP addresses. This is useful, for example, in education and customer environments where mobile-unit
users change frequently. Use longer leases if there are fewer users.
8. If the MUs on this subnet are members of a domain, enter that name in the Domain Name field and it
will be sent out via DHCP to all MUs associated with this subnet.
9. DNS Forward Zone is used for maintaining DomainName to Address mappings used by the DNS server.
10.Use the TFTP Server Address to provide the IP address of the TFTP Sever. The TFTP server address is
the address of the boot server.
11.Use the Bootfile to provide the path to the Boot file.
12.Option 189 is used to specify the IP address and port address of a WIAP enabled switch, a switch that
can adopt Access Ports in WIAP mode. This field accepts a comma separated list, for example,
192.168.0.1:200, 100.1.200.24:24576. Only port 24576 is supported.
13.Option 43 is used to specify the IP address of a WIAP enabled switch, a switch that can adopt Access
Ports in WIAP mode. This field accepts a comma separated list, for example, 192.168.0.1, 100.1.200.24
