Chapter 7: Standard DHCP
Standard DHCP, as defined by FNGi, means a more traditional form of DHCP without
authentication. It also supports things like delivering boot files via TFTP and static
assignments by option 82. Dynamic subnets can be restricted to only known clients. It
is meant for use with cable modems, ONT devices, set top boxes and the like. It can be
used for end-customer devices as well if that is desired over Authenticated DHCP.
Standard DHCP is also configured with high availability just like Authenticated DHCP. All
services are redundant under this configuration (TFTP, DHCP etc...). Please note that
the DHCPatriot does contain a built-in TFTP server. An external TFTP server may also
be used, if desired.
Shared Network Configuration
At least one Shared Network, and one subnet of dynamic or static types is required to
have a functioning Standard DHCP network. Instructions for configuration of each type
follow. Please note that a relay agent is a requirement to use the DHCPatriot. It does
not support broadcast DHCP on the local LAN (local to the DHCPatriot), but rather
requires that the traffic be relayed through a router or some other relay agent. Cisco
devices become relay agents when the `ip helper address` directive is used.
Shared Network
To start each Standard
Network, a Shared Network
must be configured. The
Shared Network provides an
identifier, some basic settings
and a framework for the
subnets of the Standard
Network.
Think of it as a container that will contain the subnets that will be configured. This
keeps the networks and subnets well organized so that you can easily see what is
happening with a particular network in the reports. It also provides the DHCPatriot with
information regarding which subnets belong together so that it knows what IP addresses
from which subnets to hand out to a particular client.
One or more Shared Network may be configured. To access the Shared Network
Configuration, expand the Auth DHCP Config menu. Then click on Shared Network.
Figure 7.1 shows what the Shared Network configuration screen looks like.
