Configuring IRIS in Bridge mode
To configure IRIS in “bridge” mode select “Network” from the navigation menu bar. If you
configure IRIS in bridge mode, you will need to use an external provisioning server that can
provide all the required server functionality which includes DHCP server, TFTP server and TOD
server.
Figure 12 Network Setup
You will also need to configure you provisioning server so that it can allocate IP addresses to
CPE devices that are behind the cable modems. CNI provides a provisioning server called
‘XFIRE’ to achieve this functionality.
If you are planning to use multiple IRIS in your cable plant you should put IRIS in bridge mode
and use an external provisioning server. The detail setup of such a provisioning server is
beyond the scope of this document. Customers should contact CNI professional services to
get further information and training on such topics.
