The
host
and
mta
VCI options are used to configure a CPE host or MTA gateway IP
address (giaddr) for the cable interface. During the DHCP process, the DHCP relay
agent requests an IP address in a particular subnet by inserting the cable interface
giaddr into the DHCP requests from CMs, hosts, and MTAs. The primary IP address
is always inserted in CM DHCP requests. The
ip dhcp relay information option
command must be enabled to allow the BSR to determine what type of device
originated the DHCP request. The primary IP address for the cable interface is
inserted into DHCP requests by default.
Enabling a VCI on a Cable Interface
Follow these steps to enable a VCI on the cable interface:
1.
Enter the desired cable interface.
2.
Use the
ip address
secondary
command in Interface Configuration mode for the
cable interface to define the Gateway IP address (giaddr) for CPE host DHCP
requests or MTA DHCP requests that creates individual subnets for host CPEs,
and MTAs:
MOT(config-if)#
ip address
{<
A.B.C.D
> <
A.B.C.D
>}
secondary
[
host |
mta
]
where:
A.B.C.D
is the IP address.
A.B.C.D
is the subnetwork IP address mask.
secondary
specifies that the secondary IP address is a secondary IP address
for CM DHCP requests.
host
optionally defines this secondary IP CPE host address as the giaddr to
be inserted into CPE host DHCP requests.
Note:
The
ip dhcp relay information option
command must be enabled to
allow the BSR to determine what type of device originated the DHCP request.
The primary IP address for the cable interface is inserted into DHCP requests
by default.
