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
