Maximum number of BOOTP relay agent hops
|
If
a request has traveled through more than a given number of BOOTP relay
agents, the request is dropped. The default maximum number of relay
agent hops is four. This number is likely to be sufficient for most
networks. A network might need more than four hops if DHCP requests
pass through several BOOTP relay agents before reaching a DHCP server.

Detect duplicate addresses
|
By default, the server
pings an IP address before offering the address to a client. A lack
of response to the ping verifies that the address is not already in
use. You can disable this feature to decrease the time that the server
takes to make an offer. However, disabling the feature creates the
risk of having duplicate IP addresses in use.

ICMP_VERIFY=TRUE/FALSE

Reload dhcptab automatically at specified
intervals
|
The server
can be set to automatically read the dhcptab at
the interval, in minutes, that you specify. If your network configuration
information does not change frequently, and you do not have multiple
DHCP servers, you do not need to reload the dhcptab automatically.
Also, note that DHCP Manager gives you the option to have the server
reload the dhcptab after you make a change to the
data.

RESCAN_INTERVAL=min
|
Cache offers of IP addresses for specified intervals
|
After a server offers an IP address to
a client, the offer is cached. While the offer is cached, the server
does not offer the address again. You can change the number of seconds
for which the offer is cached. The default is 10 seconds. On slow
networks, you might need to increase the offer time.

OFFER_CACHE_TIMEOUT=sec
