Adding a Group to the DHCP Configuration

With this menu item, add a new DHCP group. Host names handled by the DHCP server with the same DHCP parameters (options, statements) are merged to a group. Only host objects can be added to a group. However, a group can be member of the global configuration and of a subnet. If you create a group in the global DHCP entry, hosts of this group can get their IP addresses from various subnets. However, in this case all subnets must be configured. If you create a group in a DHCP subnet, you have to make sure that all hosts in this group get their IP addresses from this subnet.

Any designation can be specified for a group. Click Confirm to enter the new group in the DHCP configuration.

Subsequently, define DHCP options and statements for the newly created group by clicking this group under the menu item DHCP Configuration in the browser.
