OpenCom 100 in a Serverless LAN

In a peer-to-peer network, the workstations are connected to one another via
network cables. In many networks, the cables run in the form of a star from a
central hub or switch. Such networks do not require special servers. This configu-
ration example is also valid for a LAN with a server using a protocol other than IP
(e.g. AppleTalk or IPX/SPX).

The OpenCom 100 in a serverless LAN
In a serverless LAN, the OpenCom 100 takes over the IP configuration of the con-
nected workstations. All IP settings necessary for the workstations are assigned by
the OpenCom 100 via DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol). In this oper-
ating mode, an IP address space reserved for such networks is used:
192.168.99.254
255.255.255.0
192.168.99.254
192.168.99.254
