Configuring a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server

Specifying user class option sets

If you need to group machines according to department, work group, or physical location, and you want to provide the same options to all clients in the group, you can add user classes to achieve this. You might, for example, want different groups to use different print or DNS servers.


NOTE: Clients in these groups must be configured to request the user class.

Adding a user class option set

To define a user class using the DHCP Server Manager:

  1. Select View -> User Classes.

  2. Select Entry -> Add.

  3. Enter an Identifier (a text string) and a description for the entry.

  4. Click on Generic to configure the options for this user class. See ``Configuring DHCP options'' for more information.

  5. Click on OK.

Modifying a user class option set

To modify a user class using the DHCP Server Manager:

  1. Select View -> User Classes.

  2. Highlight the user class you want to change and select Entry -> Modify.

  3. Make the necessary changes and click on OK.


    NOTE: You cannot change the Identifier.

Deleting a user class option set

To delete a user class using the DHCP Server Manager:

  1. Select View -> User Classes.

  2. Highlight the user class you want to delete.

  3. Select Entry -> Delete.

  4. When asked to confirm that you want to delete the user class, click on OK.
