Using The Ip Pool; Creating A Pool; Assigning A Device To Use An Address From The Ip Pool - Digi PortServer II User Manual

Using the IP Pool

You can configure PortServer II to use a "pool" of IP addresses for devices connected
to it. PortServer II then assigns an address from the pool each time a device requests a
session.

Creating a pool

To provide a range of IP addresses to use as a pool, enter a command similar to the
following:
set ippool ip=2.4.1.30 count=15
In this example, 2.4.1.30 is the first address in the pool and 15 is the number of
addresses in the pool.
Important: The IP pool uses a series of consecutive addresses and all addresses in the
pool must be available to PortServer II. For instance, in the example
above, all addresses between 2.4.1.30 and 2.4.1.44 will be assigned to
PortServer II.

Assigning a device to use an address from the IP pool

To configure a device to take an address from the IP pool, enter its IP address as
255.255.255.254 or ippool each time you enter a configuration command con-
taining its IP address.
Note: The device may have a different IP address for each session.
