DNS/DHCP Management Console

Create a Subnet

The Subnet object is the most fundamental DHCP object. It enables you to distribute IP addresses and DHCP options to each network. The Subnet object acts as a container object for the host and pool objects.

A Subnet object's specific DHCP options and configuration parameters apply to the entire subnet and override global options.

To create a Subnet:

  1. Select the Service or Shared Network where you want to create the subnet from
    the tree view in the left frame of the Java Management Console utility.
  2. Click Create on the toolbar.
  3. Select Subnet from the list in the dialog box, then click OK.
  4. Enter a unique Subnet Address and Subnet Mask in the field provided.
  5. Click Create.
