Figure 13-2. ProCurve Secure Router DHCP Server

You should configure one DHCP pool for each subnet. For the default gateway,

you would specify the IP address of the Ethernet interface through which the

router connects to the subnet. (See Figure 13-2.)

The switches may also connect to several VLANs. In this case, you would

configure VLAN support on the Ethernet interfaces. (See Chapter 3: Config-

uring Ethernet Interfaces.) You would then create a DHCP pool for

A WAN interface can also act as a server for DHCP clients. However, usually

the router at the remote site or a DHCP server would act as the remote

network's server. On the other hand, when you bridge two remote sites, one

router should act as a DHCP server for all clients in the network.

The ProCurve Secure Router as a DHCP Client

Some service providers require their subscribers to lease a dynamic address

from them. In particular, Frame Relay service providers often require their

costumers to use DHCP when connecting to their network. Each permanent

virtual circuit (PVC) endpoint receives an IP address only when it needs it.

This allows the service provider to conserve the limited number of IP

addresses it owns. Internet service providers (ISPs) also often require sub-

scribers to receive an IP address and other configurations from them.

You must configure the interface that connects to such a provider to act as a

DHCP client.
