DHCP examples

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 function. It is a great place to start whether you are a beginner to DHCP or an experienced DHCP administrator.

• Example: Simple DHCP subnet
  You can learn how to set up the iSeries™ server as a DHCP server in a simple LAN with four PC clients and a LAN-based printer.
• Example: Multiple TCP/IP subnets
  You can learn how to set up the iSeries™ server as a DHCP server with two LANs connected by a DHCP-enabled router.
• Example: DHCP and multihoming
  You can learn how to set up the iSeries™ server as a DHCP server for a LAN that is connected to the Internet by an Internet router.
• Example: DNS and DHCP on the same iSeries server
  You can learn how to set up the iSeries™ server as a DHCP server with dynamic DNS updates for a simple LAN.
• Example: DNS and DHCP on different iSeries servers
  You can learn how to set up DHCP and DNS on two different iSeries™ servers to perform dynamic updates over a simple LAN.
• Example: PPP and DHCP on a single iSeries server
  You can learn how to set up the iSeries™ server as a DHCP server for a LAN and a remote dial-in client.
• Example: DHCP and PPP profile on different iSeries servers
  You can learn how to set up two iSeries™ servers as the network DHCP server and a DHCP/BOOTP relay agent for two LANs and remote dial-in clients.
