Add Hosts

Host Description:
Any name that describes the host.
Host Name: The host
declaration provides a scope in which to provide configuration
information about a specific client, and also provides a way
to assign a client a fixed address. The host declaration
provides a way for the DHCP server to identify a DHCP or BOOTP
client, and also a way to assign the client a static IP
address.
Host Assigned To: a
Fix IP Address: The fixed-address
declaration is used to assign one or more fixed IP addresses
to a client. If more than one address is supplied, then when
the client boots, it will be assigned the address that
corresponds to the network on which it is booting. If none of
the addresses in the fixed-address
statement are valid for the network to which the client is
connected, that client will not match the host
declaration containing that fixed-address
declaration.
Lease Time: Time
should be the minimum length in seconds that will be assigned
to a lease.
Max Lease Time: Time
should be the maximum length in seconds that will be assigned
to a lease. The only exception to this is that Dynamic BOOTP
lease lengths, which are not specified by the client, are not
limited by this maximum.
Hardware Address: In order for a
client to be recognized, its network hardware address must be
declared. Hardware-type must be
the name of a physical hardware interface type. Currently,
only the ethernet and token-ring
types are recognized, although support for a fddi
hardware type (and others) would also be desirable. The hardware-address
should be a set of hexadecimal octets (numbers from 0 through
ff) separated by colons.
Boot File Name: If selected,
configuration options will be read in the Bootp file that can
be created within the global options window.
Lease Length:
used to set the length of leases dynamically assigned to BOOTP
clients. At some sites, it may be possible to assume that a
lease is no longer in use if its holder has not used BOOTP or
DHCP to get its address within a certain time period. The
period is specified in length
as a number of seconds. If a client reboots using BOOTP during
the timeout period, the lease duration is reset to length,
so a BOOTP client that boots frequently enough will never lose
its lease. Needless to say, this parameter should be adjusted
with extreme caution. ie: 604800 = 7 days.
Lease End: sets the ending time
for all leases assigned dynamically to BOOTP clients. Because
BOOTP clients do not have any way of renewing leases, and
don't know that their leases could expire, by default dhcpd
assigns infinite leases to all BOOTP clients. However, it may
make sense in some situations to set a cutoff date for all
BOOTP leases for example, the end of a school term, or the
time at night when a facility is closed and all machines are
required to be powered off. Date
should be the date on which all assigned BOOTP leases will
end. The date is specified in the form: W YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS
W is the day of the week expressed as a number from zero
(Sunday) to six (Saturday). YYYY is the year, including the
century. MM is the month expressed as a number from 1 to 12.
DD is the day of the month, counting from 1. HH is the hour,
from zero to 23. MM is the minute and SS is the second. The
time is always in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), not local
time.
Options

Domain Name: This
option specifies the domain name that client should use when
resolving hostnames via the Domain Name System.
Gateway: The gateway option specifies a list of IP
addresses for gateways on the client's subnet. Gateways should
be listed in order of preference
Subnet Mask: The subnet mask
option specifies the client's subnet mask. If no subnet mask
option is provided anywhere in scope, as a last resort Dhcpd
will use the subnet mask from the subnet declaration for the
network on which an address is being assigned. However, any
subnet-mask option declaration that is in scope for the
address being assigned will override the subnet mask specified
in the subnet declaration.
Broadcast Address: This option
specifies the broadcast address in use on the client's subnet.
Static Route: This option
specifies a list of static routes that the client should
install in its routing cache. If multiple routes to the same
destination are specified, they are listed in descending order
of priority.
The routes consist of a list of IP address pairs. The first
address is the destination address, and the second address is
the router for the destination.
The default route (0.0.0.0) is an illegal destination for a
static route. To specify the default route, use the Gateway
option.
Name Server: The server-name
statement specifies the name of the boot server name to use.
This is also not used by the standard client configuration
script.
DNS Server: The
domain-name-servers option specifies a list of Domain Name
System available to the client. Servers should be listed in
order of preference.
Time Server: The time-server
option specifies a list of time servers available to the
client. Servers should be listed in order of preference.
NIS Domain: This option specifies
the name of the client's NIS (Sun Network Information
Services) domain. The domain is formatted as a character
string consisting of characters from the NVT ASCII character
set.
NIS Server: This option specifies
a list of IP addresses indicating NIS servers available to the
client. Servers should be listed in order of preference.
Netbios

NetBios server:
The NetBIOS name server (NBNS) option specifies a list of name
servers listed in order of preference. NetBIOS Name Service is
currently more commonly referred to as WINS.
Netbios Scope: The NetBIOS scope identifier is an optional string of
characters that identify different logical NetBIOS networks
that run on the same physical TCP/IP network.
In most configurations the NetBIOS scope identifier does
not need to be changed. The simplest way to configure NetBIOS
is to use a single logical network. If you think that you need
to use the scope identifier, make sure you fully understand
the implications of changing it before doing anything. If you
do change the identifier, you should list all the NetBIOS
nodes in your network and keep a record of which scope
identifier is assigned to which node.
Keeping track of all the scope identifiers in a NetBIOS
network can be complicated and time consuming. Avoid using
this feature unless you have a very specific need for it.
Before setting the value of the scope identifier, check its
value on the other machines in the network. If you have MS-DOS
or OS/2 workstations on the network, the NetBIOS scope
identifier should be set to NULL on all machines on the
network. Many implementations of NetBIOS for TCP/IP allow you
to use only the NULL scope identifier. If you have any
other AFPS-compatible machines on the network, check their
documentation for restrictions.
Netbios node type: The NetBIOS node
type option allows NetBIOS over TCP/IP clients which are
configurable to be configured as described in RFC 1001/1002.
The value is specified as a single octet which identifies the
client type.
Possible node types are:
- 1
- B-node: Broadcast - no WINS
- 2
- P-node: Peer - WINS only.
- 4
- M-node: Mixed - broadcast, then WINS
- 8
- H-node: Hybrid - WINS, then broadcast
