This task contains the next set of optional steps for creation of a new subnetwork
space.
-
Select Enable
DHCP to enable branch routers to dynamically provide client
devices with network settings.
-
Enable the DHCP server on the routers to remove the necessity for additional
hardware at remote sites.
When you select this option, additional configuration items appear.
-
Use the controls to select where you want your DHCP pool of addresses
to begin and end.
The left slide control reserves addresses at the start of the pool.
The right slide control reserves addresses at the end of the pool.
Below the slide control is the total number of remaining unreserved
addresses in the pool.
Note
IP Address 172.28.0.1 is reserved for Extreme Networks routers
and is not available to client devices.
-
Enter the DHCP address lease time.
-
Enter the NTP server's IP address that clients use to synchronize their
system clocks.
-
Enter your network domain name.
-
Select Use ARP to check IP address conflicts to
enable Extreme Networks routers functioning as DHCP servers to check if
an IP address is in use before offering to lease it to a DHCP
client.
Clear to disable ARP
broadcasts during the DHCP message exchange. You might do this if there
are a large number of clients requesting DHCP leases and the extra
effort to check address availability is unnecessarily consuming
resources.
-
For Custom Options, enter standard (1 – 224) and
custom (225 – 254) DHCP options.
Note
Options 1, 3, 6, 7,
15, 26, 42, 44, 51, 58, 59, 69, and 70 are not supported here
because the information is automatically retrieved elsewhere.
-
Select Enable DHCP Relay to support a
centralized DHCP server on a branch router.
If you have deployed a
centralized DHCP server on your network, you must first enable the DHCP
relay on an Extreme Networks branch router to disable the branch
router's DHCP server function. This enables the device to redirect
client DHCP requests to a centralized DHCP server. The branch router now
behaves as a proxy for client DHCP requests and no longer performs DHCP
services. This is part of the DHCP Reservations and DHCP Relay
feature.
-
Choose the DNS Service profile from the drop-down
list.
If you do not see a service
profile that you want to use, select the plus sign to create a new one. For more
information about adding a DNS Service, see
Add a DNS Service.
Note
When the network type is for
internal or guest use, an Extreme Networks router applies this service to
the DNS requests from clients connecting to the router either directly or
through an intermediary AP or switch. When the network type is management,
the router applies this to DNS requests from Extreme Networks APs and
switches on the same management network behind the router, and to the mgt0
interface of the router itself.
-
Select Enable NAT through the VPN
tunnels to enable routers to perform NAT on traffic traversing
their tunnel interfaces.
Note
If you selected
Replicate the same
subnetwork at each site, NAT is always enabled and this
check box cannot be cleared.
-
Enter the number of
branch sites you want to replicate.
-
Enter the NAT IP address
space, which must be large enough to be mapped to the local subnetwork
at every branch site of the local subnetwork IP address space.
-
Select SAVE.
