Overview
DHCP C
OMMANDS
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is designed to provide a centralized
approach for configuration of IP addresses and parameters.
When a workstation is configured for automatic assignment of IP addresses, it
broadcasts a request out on the LAN. The DHCP Server responds with an IP
address for the workstation, the domain name and the IP addresses of the default
router, two Domain Name Servers (DNS) and two WINS Servers.
The assignment of an IP address to the workstation is for a specified period of
time, referred to as the lease period. Before the lease is set to expire, the
workstation will send a request to the server to extend the lease period. The server
maintains a list of assigned IP addresses and the duration period of the leases.
When a lease expires, the IP address can be reassigned to another workstation.
The OfficeConnect Gateway can support up to 253 users on the local LAN.
This chapter identifies and describes the DHCP commands accessible from the
OfficeConnect Gateway CLI. The following table identifies the DHCP commands:
