It would depend on what dhcp server you are using. In my case, I use
dhcpd-3 on Linux, which sets stuff up in a plain-text config file.
Here's a snippet:
19 # option definitions common to all supported networks...
20 option domain-name "mycompanyname.localdomain";
21 option domain-name-servers 192.168.101.1;
22 option routers 192.168.101.1;
23 option broadcast-address 192.168.101.255;
24 default-lease-time 600;
25 max-lease-time 7200;
26
27 # Unknown clients / random ip's / shorter leases (10 minutes)
28 subnet 192.168.101.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
29 range 192.168.101.221 192.168.101.250;
30 }
31
32
33 # Known clients / static ip's / longer leases (1 day):
34
35 # Main Server (server15):
36 host server15 {
37 hardware ethernet 00:04:76:DD:34:F2;
38 fixed-address 192.168.101.15;
39 default-lease-time 86400;
40 max-lease-time 86400;
41 }
42
Each machine added to the network gets an entry like the above one for
server15. The server this dhcpd runs on also serves local DNS queries,
Windows file sharing, NFS sharing, is the local email server, webmail
server, and is the perimeter firewall as well as an endpoint for a
handful of VPN's. There are 24 machines total so far, and it is barely
breaking a sweat:
top - 14:59:12 up 8 days, 8:25, 3 users, load average: 0.39, 0.19, 0.06
Tasks: 106 total, 1 running, 105 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 0.5%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.3%id, 0.0%wa, 0.2%hi, 0.0%si,
0.0%st
Mem: 3354444k total, 2523168k used, 831276k free, 149440k buffers
Swap: 6385796k total, 156k used, 6385640k free, 2112852k cached
It is a dual-amd 2-core system with a 64-bit Linux kernel. The "3 users"
doesn't apply to the actual users hitting the server as that is only the
Unix users, which is basically me and the other me named 'root'.
