Examples: DHCP

 

By reviewing diagrams and examples of how different networks are set up, you can determine which is the best choice for your installation.

Looking at how someone else has used a technology is often the best way to learn about that technology. The following examples show how DHCP works, how it is incorporated into different network setups, and how to tie in some of the V5R4 functions. It is a great place to start whether you are a beginner to DHCP or an experienced DHCP administrator.

• Example: Simple DHCP subnet
  This example explains how to set up a System i™ model as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server in a simple LAN with four PC clients and a LAN-based printer.

• Example: Multiple TCP/IP subnets
  This example explains how to set up a System i model as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server with two LANs connected by a DHCP-enabled router.

• Example: DHCP and multihoming
  This example explains how to set up a System i model as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server for a LAN that is connected to the Internet by an Internet router.

• Example: DNS and DHCP on the same System i
  This example explains how to set up a System i model as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server with dynamic Domain Name System (DNS) updates on a simple LAN.

• Example: DNS and DHCP on different System i models
  This example explains how to set up Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) on two different System i models to perform dynamic updates over a simple LAN.

• Example: PPP and DHCP on a single System i
  This example explains how to set up a System i model as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server for a LAN and a remote dial-in client.

• Example: DHCP and PPP profile on different System i models
  This example explains how to set up two System i models as the network Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server and a BOOTP/DHCP relay agent for two LANs and remote dial-in clients.
