DNS/DHCP Management Console
The following table gives more information on DHCP (OES) objects:
Objects | Description |
---|---|
Service | The Service object acts as a container object for subnet, shared network, host, zone, class and TSIG key. |
Server | The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) uses the client/server structure to allocate network addresses to a host. |
Shared Network | All subnets that share the same physical network can be grouped under a Shared Network object. |
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 Host and Pool objects. |
Pool | The Pool object represents a range of addresses for dynamic address assignment or for exclusion from the address assignment. |
Lease | A DHCP-enabled client obtains a lease for an IP address from a DHCP server. Before the lease expires, the DHCP server must renew the lease for the client or the client must obtain a new lease. |
Host | The Host object represents a client in the network with statically assigned IP address and is identified by a hostname. |
Class | The Class object helps in segregating clients into classes. These clients are treated differently depending on the class they are in. |
Zone | A zone is a database that contains domain names and subdomain information for a specified domain. The specified DNS zone is updated of any change to the DHCP server. |
TSIG Key | TSIG Key provides a means of authenticating updates to a Dynamic DNS database. TSIG Key uses shared secret keys as a cryptographically secure means of authenticating a DNS update. |
Failover Peer | Failover Peer defines methods for two servers to share common address pools and ensure continuous availability. |
