Configuring DHCP
You can configure a CellPipe SDSU to be a dynamic host configuration protocol
(DHCP) client and allow the unit to get temporary IP addresses from centrally
administered servers. A unit must be configured as a router for it to function as a
DHCP client. IP addresses can be assigned to ports on either the WAN or the DCE
interface.
To configure a CellPipe SDSU to be a DHCP client, follow these steps:
1
From the Main Menu, select
Configure IP Router
.
2
Select
Configure DHCP Client
.
3
Select the appropriate interface and port number.
4
Enter Y to enable DHCP for the port. Repeat for each port that will be enabled
for DHCP.
5
Reset the unit for these changes to take effect.
Configuring NAT
There are two steps to the configuration for network address translation (NAT) on a
CellPipe SDSU. First, you have to enable NAT translation on those ports that you
want to run NAT. Then you have to specify a NAT configuration for each of those
ports.
Enabling NAT translation by port
To enable NAT translation by port, proceed as follows:
1
From the Main Menu, select
Configure NAT
.
2
Select
Enable/Disable NAT Translation by Port
.
3
Select
SDSL
.
4
Select each port for which you want to enable NAT and enter y.
5
Reset the unit for these changes to take effect.
Note:
NAT automatically turns off RIP so the address is not propagated to the
Internet or remote networks.
