Configuring the Windows NT DHCP Server
If a Microsoft Windows NT DHCP server is used in your organization, the server can be used
in reservation mode to provide an IP address and other necessary information to the VCX
V7111 Gateway.
To configure the Microsoft Windows NT DHCP Server to assign IP address information to
BootP clients, add a reservation for each BootP client.
For information about how to add a reservation, see "the Managing Client Reservations"
Help topic in the DHCP Manager.
The reservation builds an association between the Media Access Control address (12 digits,
provided in VCX V7111 documentation) and the IP address. Windows NT Server provides
the IP address based on the VCX V7111 Media Access Control (MAC) address in the BootP
request frame.
To configure the Microsoft Windows NT DHCP server to provide boot file information to
BootP clients, edit the BootP Table in DHCP Manager. The BootP Table is located in the
Server Properties dialog box that can be accessed from the Server menu. For information
about how to edit the BootP Table, view the BootP Table Help topic in DHCP Manager.
The following parameters must be entered:
Local IP address – The IP address of your VCX V7111 Gateway.
Subnet mask – See
Gateway IP address – The default Gateway IP address
Boot File name – Optional, however, the boot file name normally should not be used.
