DHCP Options
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a TCP/IP protocol that enables a client to
obtain a temporary IP address from a central server (known as a DHCP server). Following are
the Answer > DHCP Options parameters:
TCP-Clear Options
The MAXunit does not process packet encapsulation for TCP-Clear connections. These
connections often use a proprietary encapsulation method, or encapsulation performed by an
application running on top of TCP. The unit redirects the connection’s data immediately to a
specified host, where encapsulation processing is assumed to occur.
Parameters in the Answer > TCP-Clear Options subprofile define the end of a packet, the
end-of-packet pattern, the maximum number of bytes to buffer, and the timer in milliseconds.
Following are the parameters:
IPX SAP Filter A SAP filter applied to the LAN or WAN interface. You can apply an
IPX SAP filter to exclude or include certain remote services from the
MAX SAP table. If you apply a SAP filter in a Connection profile, you
can exclude or include services in both directions.
Framed Only Whether or not the user is allowed access to all the terminal-server
commands or to a subset of them.
Parameter Specifies
Parameter Specifies
Reply Enabled Whether or not the MAX unit processes DHCP packets and acts as a
DHCP server on this connection.
Pool Number IP address pool to use to assign addresses to Network Address
Translation (NAT) clients.
Max Leases Number of dynamic addresses to assign to NAT clients using this
connection.
Parameter Specifies
Detect End of Packet Enable/disable packet buffering of incoming data. If this parameter is
set to Yes, the MAXunit begins buffering incoming data as soon as the
dialup session has been authenticated. It continues buffering until it
receives the specified End of Packet Pattern, or until it reaches the
specified timeout (Packet Flush Time) or maximum packet length
(Packet Flush Length), whichever comes first. If Detect End of Packet
is set to No (the default), none of the related parameters apply.
End of Packet Pattern Character pattern that signals the end of a packet. When the unit
matches this pattern in the buffered data, it immediately flushes the
buffer by writing all data up to and including the pattern out to TCP.
Note that the data is written before a match occurs if the specified
timeout (Packet Flush Time) or maximum packet length (Packet Flush
Length) is exceeded.
