DNS/DHCP Management Console
Create a Host
Hosts are a system of domain names in the network used to identify DHCP
clients. Host objects have an associated IP address. However, if a hostname has
more than one IP address, both the addresses are sent to the client. For clients
with statically assigned addresses or for installation where only known clients
are served, each client must be a host.
To create a Host:
- Select a service object from the tree view under which the host object
is to
be created. It is mandatory to select a service. If you want the host object
to
be created under service-subnet hierarchy, select a subnet object from the
tree
view.
- Specify the name by which you want to identify the host.
- Specify the IP address of the host.
- Specify the client identifier. This uniquely identifies the client.
- Select the MAC type from the drop-down
list.
- Specify the hardware address of the NIC
(Network Interface Card) in the MAC Address field.
- Select Define additional properties to configure the lease, options or
settings
for the host object.
- Click Create.
