Menus Index |  |  | # Duplicate Address The Duplicate Address dialog box provides a quick way to add a new address to the current DHCP network table. Select an address with settings that you want to copy to a new address, and then choose Duplicate from the Edit menu. The settings in the Duplicate Address dialog box are described below.
IP Address | The IP address for this record.
Client Name (optional) | The host name of the client.
Owned By Server | The IP address of the DHCP server that owns this record's IP address.
Configuration Macro | An optional macro for the server to use to obtain client configuration parameters from the `dhcptab`. Click the arrow to see a list of macros available on the server. If the macro you want to specify does not already exist on the server, you can create one using the Create Macro dialog box.
Comment (optional) | An optional text comment.
Click Lease to modify settings that affect the type of lease and expiration date.
Client ID | A unique indentifier of the DHCP or BOOTP client using this address. The client ID is determined by the vendor of the DHCP client. For non-Solaris DHCP clients, consult your DHCP client documentation for more information. For Solaris DHCP clients, the client ID is a string created by the concatenation of the network hardware type and the client's hardware address. For example, a client with a hardware type of `01` (10-Mb Ethernet) and a hardware address of `8:0:20:11:12:b7` would have a client ID of `010800201112B7`. An entry with a Client ID value of 00 indicates that the address is freely available for dynamic allocation to a requesting client.
Reserved | The address is reserved for this client and cannot be reclaimed by the server.
Lease Policy | Dynamic: The DHCP server is responsible for the allocation and re-allocation of this range of IP addresses. Enter the expiration time of the lease. You can specify an expiration time for the lease in mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM format. Permanent: The lease does not expire.
Assign Only to BOOTP Clients | The selected IP address is reserved for BOOTP clients.
Address is Unusable | This IP address cannot be used. You can use this setting together with Reserved to prevent a client from booting.
