Configuring DHCP and BOOTP Policies

DHCP Policies determine the DHCP servers to which a CMTS interface
forwards DHCP requests from attached cable modems, CPE devices and MTA
devices.

BOOTP Policies determine the BOOTP servers to which a CMTS interface
forwards BOOTP requests from attached cable modems and diskless
workstations.

You configure DHCP policies using the

dhcp-policy

command. You configure

the BOOTP policies using the bootp-policy command.

Defining Policies for a Cable Interface

Using the

dhcp-policy

or

bootp-policy

command, you can configure the

cable interface to forward DHCP or BOOTP requests.

The following table describes the parameters that you set to configure DHCP
policies:

Parameter

Description

Index Number

Determines the sequence in which a DHCP
request is compared to each policy. You
assign this number when defining the policy.
The request is applied to the policy with the
lowest index first, then precedes
incrementally. Upon finding a match, the
action defined for the policy is taken, and no
further policies are applied.

Policy Server List

current cable interface to forward DHCP
