Select enabled or auto mode. Auto mode enables the server and disables it if another DHCP server is detected on the network. The disabled setting disables the server.

If you click Ping IP when allocating new IP, the server will ping the IP address before it assigns that address to its client. If the ping receives a response, that means a different firewall already has that address, so it is not available for assignment. The server assigns the next address from the pool instead. If you select this option, the Probe IP column in the display will have a check mark.

Unlimited causes the server to dynamically choose IP addresses from the IP Pools and assign them permanently to clients.
|

|
Timeout determines how long the lease will last. Enter the number of Days and Hours, and optionally, the number of Minutes.

|
If you also specify a MAC Address (format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx), the Reserved Address is assigned to the firewall associated with that MAC address when that firewall requests an IP address through DHCP.

Select None (default) or select a source DHCP client interface or PPPoE client interface to propagate various server settings to the DHCP server. If you specify an Inheritance Source, select one or more options below that you want inherited from this source.
|
|
|
If you selected an Inheritance Source, click Check inheritance source status to open the Dynamic IP Interface Status window, which displays the options that are inherited from the DHCP client.

For the following fields, click the drop-down and select None or inherited, or enter the IP address of the remote server that your DHCP server will send to clients for accessing that service. If you select inherited, the DHCP server inherits the values from the source DHCP client specified as the Inheritance Source.

Click Add and enter the Name of the custom option you want the DHCP Server to send to clients.
If Option Code 43 is entered, the Vendor Class Identifier (VCI) field appears. Enter a match criterion that will be compared to the incoming VCI from the client’s Option 60. The firewall looks at the incoming VCI from the client’s Option 60, finds the matching VCI in its own DHCP server table, and returns the corresponding value to the client in Option 43. The VCI match criterion is a string or hex value. A hex value must have a “0x” prefix.
Select Inherited from DCHP server inheritance source to have the server inherit the value for that option code from the inheritance source instead of you entering an Option Value.
Option Type: Select IP Address, ASCII, or Hexadecimal to specify the type of data used for the Option Value.
For Option Value, click Add and enter the value for the custom option.
