PPENDIX A: CONFIGURING EXTERNAL PROVISIONING SERVERS
If you are not using the internal FastFlow BPM DHCP server and are instead
using an external DHCP server, then you must point the DHCP relay agent on
the CMTS DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS module to the IP address of the external
provisioning server. The following procedure steps you through the process
of configuring the CMTS to use an external DHCP provisioning server.
Configuring the DHCP Server
The purpose of DHCP Server configuration is to add a DHCP Server, to which
DHCP Relay requests are forwarded. DHCP Servers are assigned on a per
interface basis.
If a DHCP server is not configured, then the DHCP relay drops all DHCP
requests as it does not know where to forward them.
Adding DHCP Servers
NOTE: You must have access privileges to the Provisioning functional area to
be able to add DHCP Servers. For more information about access privileges,
refer to chapter “Managing User Accounts”on page page 93.
From Network Browser, navigate to Cuda Chassis
Manager>Configuration>IP>DHCP Relay. To add a DHCP Server follow
these steps:
1. From the Summary window, select the row that includes the interface to
which you want to add the DHCP Server, for the external provisioning
server.
2 Choose the DHCP Relay.
3. Go to the Servers tab, which displays DHCP Servers already assigned to
that interface. For example, if the display is empty it means that there are
no DHCP Servers assigned to that interface.
