10. Select the Static Bindings
A binding is a collection of configuration parameters, including an IP address, associated with, or bound to, a DHCP client.
Bindings are managed by DHCP servers. DHCP bindings automatically map a device MAC address to an IP address using a
pool of DHCP supplied addresses. Static bindings provide the assignment of IP addresses without creating numerous host
pools with manual bindings. Static host bindings use a text file the DHCP server reads. It eliminates the need for a lengthy
configuration file and reduces the space required to maintain address pools.
DHCP leases provide addresses for defined times to various clients. If a client does not
use the leased address for the defined time, that IP address can be re-assigned to another
DHCP supported client. Select this option to assign a lease time in either Seconds (1 - 31,
622, 399), Minutes (1 - 527,040), Hours (1 - 8,784) or Days (1 - 366). The default setting is
enabled, with a lease time of 1 day.
After a DHCP client has booted, the client begins sending packets to its default router. Set
the IP address of one or a group of routers used to map hostnames into IP addresses
available to DHCP supported clients. Up to 8 default router IP addresses are supported.
