DHCP Settings

As a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server, your Motorola Netopia® Gateway can assign IP
addresses and provide configuration information to other devices on your network dynamically. A device that
acquires its IP address and other TCP/IP configuration settings from the Motorola Netopia® Gateway can
use the information for a fixed period of time (called the DHCP lease).

Common Commands

set dhcp option { off | server | relay-agent }
Enables or disables DHCP services in the Motorola Netopia® Gateway. You must enable DHCP services
before you can enter other DHCP settings for the Motorola Netopia® Gateway.
If you turn off DHCP services and save the new configuration, the Motorola Netopia® Gateway clears its
DHCP settings.
set dhcp start-address ip_address
If you selected server
Gateway can reserve a sequence of up to 253 IP addresses within a subnet, beginning with the specified
address for dynamic assignment.
set dhcp end-address ip_address
If you selected server
set dhcp lease-time lease-time
If you selected server
Gateway. Enter lease time in
set dhcp option-group name
Specifies a name for one of up to eight DHCP Option Groups. Each Option Group can have a name of
between 1 and 15 characters. The name is used in the DHCP filterset syntax to choose what group of gen-
options is to be served to a particular DHCP Client. See
Option Filtering" on page
Option Groups refer to gen-options; they do not contain them. Deleting a gen-option from an option group
does not delete the option. Adding a gen-option to an option-group does not preclude it from being added to
another option-group.
set dhcp default-option-group name
Sets the option group specified by name as the default.
