32.6. Editing Global Client Options

Section 32.8 “Adding and Editing Shared Networks” explains how to set client options (such as DNS and gateway IP addresses) that are supplied to all clients in a subnet. If you have more than one network or many fixed hosts, however, it can be more convenient to set options that apply to all clients of the server. These options can still be overridden for individual subnets, hosts, and groups if you wish.

To edit global client options, follow these steps:

1.
Click on Edit Client Options near the bottom of the module's main page. This will take you to a form similar to the one shown in Figure 32.4.

2.
Change any of the fields as explained in Steps 11 through 18 of Section 32.4 “Adding and Editing Subnets”.

3.
At the bottom of the form are fields for setting the default and maximum lease times for all clients, along with a few other options. These have the same meanings as similarly named fields on the subnet creation page.

4.
Click the Save button to update the DHCP server configuration file and return to the module's main page.

5.
Hit the Apply Changes button to make your new settings active.

Client options specified for a subnet override those defined globally, and are in turn overridden by options for hosts within the subnet.
