Defining and Configuring AutoTracker Policies
Page 20-20
Defining a DHCP Port Policy
DHCP port polices simplify network configurations requiring DHCP clients and servers to be
in the same mobile group or AutoTracker VLAN. You can see how DHCP port policies were
used in an application example on page 20-27.
DHCP port policies differ fundamentally from standard port policies. In a standard port
policy, the port is placed in the mobile group or AutoTracker VLAN as soon as the port rule is
configured; no traffic on the port is required. A DHCP port rule
requires traffic on the port in
the form of a DHCP request packet before the port gains membership.
After you indicate you want to set up rules for this mobile Group or AutoTracker
VLAN
, the
following menu displays:
Select rule type:
1. Port Rule
2. MAC Address Rule
21) MAC Address Range Rule
3. Protocol Rule
4. Network Address Rule
5. User Defined Rule
6. Binding Rule
7. DHCP PORT Rule
8. DHCP MAC Rule
81) DHCP MAC Range Rule
Enter rule type (1):
1. Enter a 7 and press
<Enter>
.
2. The following prompt displays:
Set Rule Admin Status to [(e)nable/(d)isable] (d) :
Indicate whether or not you want to enable the Administrative Status for this rule. Type
e
to enable or
d
to disable. If you enable the rule, the switch will use it to determine
membership of devices. If you disable the rule, then the switch will not use this rule, but
the parameters you set up will be saved. The Admin Status for a Policy is different from
the Admin Status for the mobile group or AutoTracker
VLAN
as it applies only to this
specific rule. You can enable or disable the rule at a later time using the
modatvl
command.
3. The following prompt displays:
Enter the list of ports in Slot/Int/Service/Instance format:
Enter the physical switch ports that you want included in this mobile Group or
AutoTracker
VLAN
. You may enter multiple ports at a time. Use the <slot>/<port> format.
For example, to include port 7 from the module in slot 2, you would enter
2/7
. (The
service and instance numbers are not necessary for specifying physical
LAN
ports. They
are only necessary when specifying logical ports used over
ATM
,
FDDI
, and Frame Relay.)
4. The following prompt displays:
Configure more rules for this vlan [y/n] (n) :
You can set up multiple rules for the same mobile group or AutoTracker
VLAN
. Enter a
Y
here if you want to set up more rules in addition to the port rule specified here. If you
enter
Y
, you will be prompted for the next rule that you want to set up. Follow the direc-
tions in the appropriate section to configure that rule. If you enter
N
, you will receive a
message, similar to the one below, indicating that the
VLAN
was set up.
VLAN 1:2 created successfully
You are done setting up rules for this mobile group or AutoTracker
VLAN
