The DHCP Server configuration is displayed with the show dhcp server settings command.

Configuring the DHCP The OfficeConnect Remote 812 can relay DHCP requests to up to two Remote Relay Servers.

The OfficeConnect Remote 812 DHCP relay can be configured with two Remote Server entries. Each entry consists of a server IP address, a specified maximum number of hops a request can take before being discarded, and enable flag.

The following commands are used to configure the entries:

	set dhcp mode relay
	set dhcp relay server1 <ip address>	max_hops <count> enabled [YES NO]
	set dhcp relay server2 <ip address>	max_hops <count> enabled [YES NO]
Monitoring the DHCP	The DHCP relay has one command which displays the configuration and related
Relay	counters. Counters include the number of requests transmitted and responses
	received from the remote servers.
	To show the configuration, use the command:
	show dhcp relay
DNS	A Domain Name Server (DNS) provides an IP address for a host computer for a
	given Domain Name. A DNS Proxy receives requests and attempts to find an entry

￿￿in its local tables, and if one is not found, forwards the request to a remote server. The remote DNS Server can be learned dynamically through PPP or can be statically assigned.

The OfficeConnect Remote 812’s DNS Proxy enables you to configure remote DNS Servers for specific Domains. For instance, assume you have two remote sites configured, one to the Internet and the other to a corporate site which has a domain name of 3com.com. Two DNS remote servers can be configured, one which uses the corporate site for 3com.com and the other to use the Internet as the default.

The OfficeConnect Remote 812’s DNS Proxy also enables you to configure Static Host entries. The static table is checked first before the DNS request is forwarded on to the remote server. If the OfficeConnect Remote 812 was first booted in DHCP Smart Mode, an entry, ocrdsl-3com.com, was automatically added to the table which maps to the OfficeConnect Remote 812’s local LAN IP address. This entry was added to simplify access to the OfficeConnect Remote 812.

Remember to save your configuration using the save all command before rebooting your OfficeConnect Remote 812 so that your changes will be written to permanent FLASH memory.
