Technical Documentation

DHCP for Subscriber Access, Release 9.5

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) technology enables you to provide access to subscribers. Access and services start when the router receives a message from a subscriber (such as a DHCP discover message).

You can configure the router to act as a DHCP local server or as a DHCP relay agent. The DHCP local server provides an IP address and other configuration information in response to a subscriber request; the DHCP relay agent forwards DHCP request and reply packets between a DHCP subscriber and a DHCP server.

In addition, you can configure address-assignment pools to enable different DHCP client applications to share address pools.
