Notes: The remote DHCP server(s) to which the Netopia Router is relaying DHCP requests must be capable of
servicing relayed requests. Not all DHCP servers support this feature. For example, the DHCP server in the
Netopia Router does not.
The DHCP server(s) to which the Netopia Router is relaying DHCP requests must be configured with one or more
address pools that are within the Netopia Router's primary Ethernet LAN subnet. (There is no mechanism for
DHCP clients to receive an address on a secondary subnet via a relayed DHCP request.)
Connection Profiles
Since you will probably only have a single connection to your ISP over the ADSL link, you may not need to create
multiple connection profiles. Multiple connection profiles are useful on leased (unswitched) interfaces such as
ADSL only to support meshed WAN connections. If you do not intend to set up meshed WAN connections, you
do not need to create multiple connection profiles.
Connection profiles may be used to define the connection information for your WAN Auxiliary Port access.
Connection Profiles define the line and networking protocols necessary for the router to make a remote
connection. A connection profile is like an address book entry describing how the router is to get to a remote
site, or how to recognize and authenticate a remote user dialing in to the router. For example, to create a new
Connection Profile, you navigate to the WAN Configuration screen from the Main Menu, and select Add
Connection Profile.
The Add Connection Profile screen appears.
