Number of BOOTP relay agent hops
|
If a request has traveled
through more than a given number of BOOTP relay agents, it is dropped. The
default maximum number of relay agent hops is 4, and it is not likely that
this number will be surpassed unless your network is set up to pass requests
through several BOOTP relay agents before they reach a DHCP server.

RELAY_HOPS=integer

Verification of IP address availability
before making an offer
|
By default, the server pings an IP address before offering it
to a client to verify that it is not already in use. You can disable this
feature to decrease the time it takes to make an offer, but this creates the
risk of having duplicate IP addresses in use.
|
ICMP_VERIFY=TRUE/FALSE
|
Automatic reading of dhcptab at specified intervals
|
The server can be set to automatically
read the dhcptab at the interval in minutes you specify.
If your network configuration information does not change frequently, and
you do not have multiple DHCP servers, it is not necessary to reload dhcptab automatically. Also note that DHCP Manager gives you the
option to have the server reload dhcptab after you make
a change to the data.
|
RESCAN_INTERVAL=min
|
Length of time to reserve an IP
address that has been offered
|
After
a server offers an IP address to a client, it caches the offer, during which
time 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 made need to increase the offer time.

OFFER_CACHE_TIMEOUT=sec
