Motorola 3397GP manual Dhcp Settings

DHCP Settings

As a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server, your Motorola Netopia® Gateway can assign IP addresses and provide configuration information to other devices on your network dynamically. A device that acquires its IP address and other TCP/IP configuration settings from the Motorola Netopia® Gate- way can use the information for a fixed period of time (called the DHCP lease).

Common Commands

set dhcp option { off server relay-agent }

Enables or disables DHCP services in the Motorola Netopia® Gateway. You must enable DHCP services before you can enter other DHCP settings for the Motorola Netopia® Gateway.

If you turn off DHCP services and save the new configuration, the Motorola Netopia® Gateway clears its DHCP settings.

set dhcp start-address ip_address

If you selected server, specifies the first address in the DHCP address range. The Motorola Neto- pia® Gateway can reserve a sequence of up to 253 IP addresses within a subnet, beginning with the specified address for dynamic assignment.

set dhcp end-address ip_address

If you selected server, specifies the last address in the DHCP address range.

set dhcp lease-time lease-time

If you selected server, specifies the default length for DHCP leases issued by the Motorola Netopia® Gateway. Enter lease time in dd:hh:mm:ss (day/hour/minute/second) format.

set dhcp option-group name

Specifies a name for one of up to eight DHCP Option Groups. Each Option Group can have a name of between 1 and 15 characters. The name is used in the DHCP filterset syntax to choose what group of gen-options is to be served to a particular DHCP Client. See “DHCP Generic Options” on page 154 and “DHCP Option Filtering” on page 157.

Option Groups refer to gen-options; they do not contain them. Deleting a gen-option from an option group does not delete the option. Adding a gen-option to an option-group does not preclude it from being added to another option-group.

set dhcp default-option-group name

Sets the option group specified by name as the default.

set dhcp server-address ip_address

If you selected relay-agent, specifies the IP address of the relay agent server.
