9-20 MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide
Configuring IP Routing
Configuring system-level routing policies
can use the MAX to respond to distant networks without having to configure an IP address
first.
Reserved address
If there is an IP address that is reserved for the host, the MAX assigns the reserved address.
Lease renewal
If the host is renewing the address it currently has, the MAX assigns the host the same address.
When a host gets a dynamically assigned IP address from one of the address pools, it
periodically renews the lease on the address until it has finished using it, as defined by the
DHCP protocol. If the host renews the address before its lease expires, the MAX always
provides the same address.
Assignment from a pool
If the host is making a new request and there is no IP address reserved for the host, the MAX
assigns the next available address from its address pools. It can draw from up to two
20-address pools of contiguous IP addresses. Addresses are assigned by using the first
available address from the first pool or, if there are no available addresses in that pool and there
is a second pool, the first available address in the second pool.
Examples of DHCP service configuration
To configure a DHCP service, open the Ethernet > Mod Config > DHCP Spoofing profile.
Although the name of this profile is DHCP Spoofing, it contains parameters for configuring all
DHCP services, including DHCP spoofing, DHCP server, and Plug and Play.
If you need more information about a particular parameter, see the MAX Reference.
Enable DHCP services
To enable any DHCP service, set the DHCP Spoofing parameter to Yes. If you set it to No,
other settings in this menu are ignored.
Enable Plug and Play
To enable Plug and Play, set the DHCP PNP Enabled parameter to Yes. Setting this parameter
to Yes with DHCP Spoofing set to Yes is all that is required to enable Plug and Play support.
