Note: The remote DHCP server(s) to which the Netopia Router is relaying DHCP requests must be capable of
servicing relayed requests. Not all DHCP servers support this feature. For example, the DHCP server in the
Netopia Router does not.
The DHCP server(s) to which the Netopia Router is relaying DHCP requests must be configured with one or more
address pools that are within the Netopia Router’s primary Ethernet LAN subnet. (There is no mechanism for
DHCP clients to receive an address on a secondary subnet via a relayed DHCP request.)
Connection Profiles
Since you will probably only have a single connection to your ISP over the remote link, you may not need to
create multiple connection profiles. Additional profiles may be useful for creating VPNs.
Connection Profiles define the line and networking protocols necessary for the router to make a remote
connection. A connection profile is like an address book entry describing how the router is to get to a remote
site, or how to recognize and authenticate a remote user connecting to the router. To create a new Connection
Profile, you navigate to the WAN Configuration screen from the Main Menu, and select Add Connection Profile.
The Add Connection Profile screen appears.
On a Router you can add up to 15 more connection profiles, for a total of 16, although only one can be used at
a time, unless you are using VPNs.
