4.5.10.5 DHCP host
4.5 Univention Directory Manager modules
A DHCP host entry is used to make the DHCP service aware of the respective computer. A computer may
be treated differently depending on whether it is known to the DHCP service or not. Moreover, only known
computers can receive fixed IP addresses from the DHCP service. Unknown computers only receive
variable IP addresses.
DHCP host entries are normally added automatically when a computer is added via the computer wizard
or the navigation. Below the DHCP service object you have the possibility of adding DHCP host entries
or editing existing entries manually, irrespective of whether they were created manually or automatically.
A DHCP host object must be created below a DHCP service object.
’General’ tab
Hostname (*)
This entry field contains the name for the host. The computer usually also has a computer object
entry in computer management. It is recommended to enter the same name and the same MAC
address for the computer in both entries to facilitate assignment.
Type (*)
The type of network used can be selected here.
Attention:
The FDDI network type is not currently supported by DHCP.
Address (*)
The MAC address of the network adaptor is entered in this input field, e.g. 2e:44:56:3f:12:32 or
2e-44-56-3f-12-32.
’Fixed IP adresses’ tab
Fixed IP address
One or more fixed IP addresses can be assigned to the computer here as required. Alongside an IP
address, a FQDN can also be entered, which will be resolved into one or more IP addresses by the
DNS server.
The following parameter is often determined on this level. It is then applicable for this computer:
• Boot server on the [Boot parameters] tab
4.5.10.6 DHCP shared network
DHCP shared network objects accept subnets which use a common physical network. A DHCP shared
network object must be added below a DHCP service object.
