DHCP in
Windows NT,
NetWare and UNIX
Follow these steps to use the DHCP method:
1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP daemon. For
Windows NT servers, refer to the “Windows NT Resource Kit” on how to do
this.
The entries made in this scope typically include the following parameters:
Range of IP addresses
Subnet mask
Default router IP address
Lease duration
Mail server IP address
DNS server IP address
WINS server IP address(es)
Domain name
NTP server IP address
NDS tree name
NDS server IP address(es)
2. Activate the scope.
DHCP is enabled by default. The IP address and all the other settings will be set
automatically.
Notes: To fully benefit from DHCP, it is recommended that you use the WINS
name resolution protocol available in Windows NT. If you intend to use
WINS, at least one WINS server IP address must be included in the scope.
Once the IP address is received, the StorPoint CD will register its host name
and IP address on the WINS server.
You might want to include an SLP scope list and some SLP directory agents
in the DHCP scope. However, we recommend that you specify the SLP
settings in the StorPoint CD parameter list instead. You can do this via the
StorPoint CD Web interface or by editing the
config.ini file.
