Cisco Systems 700 Series Dhcp Relay Agent, Port Address Translation, IP RIP Update Linkup

Page 5

Product Features

When a DHCP server is enabled and configured, it assigns and manages IP addresses from a specified address pool to DHCP clients. The options supported by this server are sufficient for Windows 95 clients. If more IP addresses or options are required, a commercial DHCP server (for example, Windows NT) should be used.

DHCP Relay Agent

Cisco 700 series routers can function as a DHCP relay agent. (The router can also act as a DHCP server, but not both at the same time.) When configured, Cisco 700 series routers relay DHCP requests and responses between DHCP clients and a specified DHCP server. Use the set dhcp relay command, where the IP address is the address of the server to which DHCP requests will be forwarded.

Port Address Translation

Cisco 700 series routers support port address translation (PAT) allowing a designated private IP network to communicate with the outside world. When configured, Cisco 700 series routers translate source addresses from an IP private network to a single, global, unique IP address before forwarding the packets to the outside world.

IP Address Assignment Through IPCP

The router can be assigned an IP address from the remote device using Internet Protocol Control Protocol (IPCP) address negotiation. The implementation is based on RFC1332. It supports IPCP options 1 and 3. (It does not support option 2, TCP/IP Header Compression.) IP unnumbered is also supported. IPCP address negotiation is on by default in any profile configured for IP routing. This feature does not support assigning addresses to remote devices.

IP RIP Update Linkup

The IP Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Update Linkup option for IP RIP enables better interoperability between the router and Cisco IOS software. If the IP RIP update is set to link up for a WAN profile, the IP RIP data is sent as soon as a connection is established and
