•Static Routes— Static routes permit multiple CTC sessions with different destination IP addresses to coexist on the same subnet. If the ONS 15327 or the computer used to access the ONS 15327 is linked to a network router, create a static route. For static route provisioning procedures, see the “Static Route Provisioning” section on

page 7-25.

•Forward DHCP Requests— Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol enables a server to dynamically assign IP addresses to connecting workstations. Checking this box and entering the IP address of a DHCP server allows DHCP requests and responses to be forwarded to the DHCP server through the ONS network. Most users will leave this box unchecked. Ask your LAN administrator if your LAN uses this feature.
