4-16 Reference Guide
■ The connection profile associated with the static route has a
disabled dial-on-demand setting, and there is no current
connection using that connection profile.
A static route is already installed in the IP routing table will be
removed if any of the conditions listed above become true for that
static route. However, an enabled static route is automatically
reinstalled once the conditions listed above are no longer true for
that static route.
IP address serving
In addition to being a router, the Netopia Router is also an IP
address server. There are four protocols it can use to distribute IP
addresses.
■ The first, called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP),
is widely supported on PC networks, as well as Apple
Macintosh computers using Open Transport and computers
using the UNIX operating system. Addresses assigned via
DHCP are “leased” or allocated for a short 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
server, 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.
