DHCP Server =========== -Multiple DHCP Servers can be run from a single machine. Each DHCP service is -identified by a ``shared-network-name``. +The network topology is declared by shared-network-name and the subnet declarations. +The DHCP service can serve multiple shared networks, with each shared network having 1 or more subnets. +Each subnet must be present on an interface. +A range can be declared inside a subnet to define a pool of dynamic addresses. +Multiple ranges can be defined and can contain holes. +Static mappings can be set to assign "static" addresses to clients based on their MAC address.
