Adding a Workstation to the DHCP Configuration

With this menu item, add a workstation to a DHCP object (group, subnet, or global configuration). First, however, the host must be set up in a DNS domain with the menu item DNS Configuration->Add Host.

In the first step, select the desired domain. If this domain does not contain any hosts that have not yet been included in the DHCP configuration, continue automatically to DNS Configuration->Add Host, where you can define a DNS host.

If the selected domain contains hosts that have not yet been included in the DHCP configuration, a list of the host names is displayed in the next step. Select a host from the list and enter its hardware address (MAC address) in the field Hardware Address from Network Device.

Click Confirm to enter the new host in the DHCP configuration.

If necessary, you can now define DHCP options and statements for the newly created host by clicking this entry under the menu item DHCP Configuration in the browser.

Important

If a host was added to the DHCP configuration, the host cannot be removed from the name server. This host will not be listed under DNS Configuration->Delete Host, as an unintentional deletion of this entry would impair the functionality of the DHCP server. To remove a host included in the DHCP configuration from the name server, delete the DHCP host entry first.
