2.7 System configuration via
DHCP Option 82
As with the classic DHCP, on startup an agent receives its configuration data
according to the "BOOTP/DHCP process" flow chart (see fig. 13).
While the system configuration is based on the classical DHCP protocol (see
on page 21 "System configuration via DHCP") on the device being config-
ured, Option 82 is based on the network topology. This procedure gives you
the option of always assigning the same IP address to any device which is
connected to a particular location (port of a Switch) on the LAN.
The installation of a DHCP server is described in the chapter "Setting up
DHCP Server Option 82" on page 206.
