Network Wizard
The Network Wizard guides you through the steps to add a new network to the DHCP server's list of configured networks. The Network Wizard is available from the Edit menu, when the Address view is displayed.
To enter information, double-click in the field, enter the desired value, and then press Enter. The following table describes the information required to add a network to the DHCP server.
| Network Address |
Enter the IP address of the network you are configuring.
|
| Subnet Mask |
Enter the subnet mask for this network. A subnet mask is a way of dividing up the host portion of an Internet address to form local subnetworks. |
| Network Type |
Specify whether the network is a local area network (LAN) or point-to-point (PPP).
|
| Routing | A router is a machine with multiple network interfaces that can forward IP packets from one network to another. In most cases, your clients should use router discovery to connect to a router. If you have clients in your network that cannot use router discovery, enter the IP address of a router which they can use to communicate with systems on another network. |
| NIS Domain NIS Servers |
If the server is configured to use NIS naming service,
the NIS server information will be filled in. If not, you can enter the domain
name and IP address of one or more NIS name servers. The order in which the address appears in the list determines the order in which the servers are queried. |
