Description
The Settings→ DHCP→
List→ Add function adds a DHCP scope to the system.
Prerequisites
None.
Operations and Inputs
 |
NOTE: (*) indicates a required field or task. |
- Enter the following parameters for the DHCP scope to be added:
- Scope Name (*) — The name of the scope specified by the user when
adding a scope.
- Type (*) — The type of the DHCP scope supported. You can select one of two DHCP
scope type settings: General Purpose or System Management.
Scopes of the General Purpose type are used to assign IP
addresses to the
target systems. This IP address is assigned temporarily to the target
system when they are discovered. The IP address of a target system
running on an operating system is assigned during the configuration
process, not by the DHCP server.
Scopes of the System Management type are used to assign IP
addresses to the ERA/MC.
- Starting IP Address (*) — The beginning IP
address of a scope.
 |
NOTICE: You must not assign systems to IP addresses within DHCP
scopes that are assigned to Remote Install. Doing so can cause
unpredictable behavior.
|
- End IP Address (*) — The ending IP address of a scope.
-
Subnet Mask (*) — The subnet mask of a scope.
- Gateway IP (optional) — The IP address
of the router.
- Click Add.
Expected Results
Remote Install adds a DHCP scope to the DHCP server.
Possible Errors
Messages similar to the following may appear. The wording may vary.
- The scope name already exists.
- Invalid IP
range.
- Invalid subnet mask.
If you add a scope that includes one or more IP addresses used by configured
target systems, you could experience random-appearing system failures when the
image server uses that IP address to communicate with a system it is attempting
to provision. If this situation occurs, change the scope or the configuration so that duplication
of IP addresses does not occur.
Subsequent Operations
Use the Settings→ DHCP→ List function to
display the added DHCP scope.
