Chapter 3 Configuring the NCL1135
APCD–NC003–1.0 19
You can also optionally set the following additional configuration options in the NCL1135:
• DHCP Relay — see
Setting the DHCP Relay Configuration on page 19
• SNMP — see
Setting the SNMP Configuration on page 20
• DNS Resolver — see
Setting the DNS Resolver Configuration on page 21
After the NCL1135 configuration is complete, you should test it to ensure the configuration is
correct before you deploy it in the field. Refer to Chapter 4,
Testing , on page 33.
Two example configuration diagrams and sessions are provided in
Examples of Bridging and
Routing Configurations
, on page 22: one for a point-to-multipoint bridging, and the second for
a point-to multipoint routing network.
Setting the DHCP Relay Configuration
When the NCL1135 is in Routing mode, you can optionally enable Dynamic Host Control
Protocol (DHCP) Relay which makes the NCL1135 aware of the protocol for DHCP traffic and
forward the responses back to the designated DHCP Server.
NOTE: DHCP Relay is transparent when the NCL1135 is in bridging
mode and, therefore, is not available in that mode.
You can configure a maximum of five DHCP servers in the NCL1135 configuration.
1. At the NCL1135> prompt, type <dhcp mode relay> to enable DHCP Relay in the
device.
2. To add a DHCP server, type <dhcp relay add
ip_address > where
ip_address is the IP Address for the DHCP Server available for the NCL1135 to
forward and receive DHCP traffic.
3. At the NCL1135> prompt, type <write> to save the settings to memory.
NOTE: To remove a DHCP server, type <dhcp relay delete
ip_address >. To disable DHCP Relay, type <dhcp mode
none>.
