Finishing the Configuration and Setting the Start Mode
After the third part of the configuration assistant, a last dialog is
shown in which to define how the DHCP server should be started.
Selecting ‘On’ causes DHCP to be started automatically as part of
the boot procedure. If you select ‘Off’, the server must be started
manually. To finish the server configuration, select ‘Ok’. Alternatively,
select ‘Host Management’ in the tree to the left to go beyond the basic
setup and add a special configuration for individual hosts.
Host Management Instead of using dynamic DHCP in the way described
above, you can also configure the server to assign addresses in quasi-
static fashion. To do so, use the entry fields provided in the lower
part, to specify a list of the hosts to manage in this way. Specifically,
provide the ‘Name’ and the ‘IP Address’ to give to such a host, the
‘Hardware Address’, and the ‘Network Type’ (token ring or ether-
net). Modify the list of hosts, which is shown in the upper part, with
‘Add’, ‘Edit’, and ‘Delete’. See Figure 21.40.
Figure 21.40: DHCP Server: Host Management
After completing all the steps of the configuration assistant (with or with-
out additional host management), select ‘Ok’ to apply the configuration
and start the server.
