Netopia ISDN Router Reference Guide
IP address serving
In addition to being a router, the Netopia ISDN Router is also an IP
address ser ver. There are four protocols it can use to distribute IP
addresses.
■
The first, called
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
, is
widely suppor ted on PC networks, as well as Apple Macintosh
computers using Open Transpor t and computers using the UNIX
operating system. Addresses assigned via DHCP are “leased” or
allocated for a shor t period of time; if a lease is not renewed, the
address becomes available for use by another computer. DHCP
also allows most of the IP parameters for a computer to be
configured by the DHCP ser ver, simplifying setup of each
machine.
■
The second, called
BOOTP
(also known as Bootstrap Protocol), is
the predecessor to DHCP and allows older IP hosts to obtain
most of the information that a DHCP client would obtain.
However, in contrast, BOOTP address assignments are
“permanent” since there is no lease renewal mechanism in
BOOTP.
■
The third protocol, called
IPCP
, is par t of the PPP/MP suite of
wide area protocols used for ISDN WAN connections. It allows
remote terminal adapters and NAT-enabled routers to be
assigned a temporar y IP address for the duration of their
connection.
