Linux in the Network
Selecting the Network Interface In the first step, YaST looks for the net-
work interfaces available on your system then displays them in a list.
From the list, select the interface on which the DHCP server should
listen. See Figure 21.39.
Figure 21.39: DHCP Server: Selecting the Network Interface
Global Settings Define whether your DHCP settings should be automat-
ically stored by an LDAP server. In the entry fields, provide the net-
work specifics for all of the clients the DHCP server should manage.
These specifics are the domain name, the address of a time server,
the addresses of the primary and the secondary name server, the ad-
dresses of a print and a WINS server (in case you have a mixed net-
work with both Windows and Linux clients), the gateway address,
and the lease time. )
Dynamic DHCP In this step, configure how dynamic IP addresses should
be assigned to clients. To do so, specify an IP range from which the
server can assign addresses to DHCP clients. All these addresses
must be covered by the same netmask. Also specify the lease time
during which a client may keep its IP address without needing to
request an extension of the lease. Optionally, specify the maximum
lease time — the period during which the server reserves an IP ad-
dress for a particular client .
