Subnet mask: A subnet mask separates the IP address into the network and host addresses (<network><host>). Subnetting further divides the host part of an IP address into a subnet and host address (<network><subnet><host>). It is called a subnet mask because it is used to identify network address of an IP address by performing bitwise AND operation on the netmask.       Subnet Mask is made by setting network bits to all "1"s […]

DHCP server checks the status of static IP-address and warns you if it’s not the case. You need “Enterprise Administrator” access level for authorizing the newly installed DHCP Server as valid DHCP server on the network.
