NetWare DHCP Server v2.0

README


(1). Save the following files before you install DHCP Server
     -------------------------------------------------------

We recommend that you save the following files in a seperate
directory as DHCP Server v2.0  could possibly install later
versions of the NLMs and MSG files.

TCPIP.NLM
TCPIP.MSG
TUI.NLM
TUI.MSG
SNMP.NLM
SNMP.MSG
SNMPLOG.NLM
SNMPLOG.MSG
CSLSTUB.NLM
NETDB.NLM


(2). Compatibility with MPR 2.0, MPR 2.1 and MPR 2.11
     ------------------------------------------------

DHCP Server v2.0 is not compatible with MPR 2.0, 2.1 or 2.11. You
need to upgrade to a later version (MPR 3.0 or MPR 3.1) to use DHCP
Server.



(3). Compatibility with BOOTPD
     -------------------------

You need to unload BOOTPD.NLM, LWGCON.NLM, LWGIO.NLM before you
install DHCP Server. DHCP Server provides BOOTP functionality
also and in essence obsoletes BOOTPD.NLM. DHCPSRVR.NLM and
BOOTPD.NLM will not run together on the same Server.


(4). BOOTPTAB file
     -------------

The DHCP Server install program copies the SYS:\ETC\BOOTPTAB
file in to SYS:\ETC\DHCPTAB file. Please do not manually edit
this file. After the installation is completed, load DHCPCFG.NLM
and ensure that all the earlier BOOTP records have been copied
properly.


(5). Compatibility with DHCPD.NLM
     ----------------------------

DHCP Server v2.0 is a LAN version only. Do not load DHCP
Server v2.0 and DHCPD.NLM released through NetWare Connect on the
same server.


(6). WAN Boards
     ----------
DHCP Server v2.0 will ignore any IP addresses bound to WAN
boards.


(7). Configuration changes
     ---------------------
If you bind any new IP address on the server after DHCPIO.NLM
has been loaded and if would use the DHCP Server to distribute
the IP addresses on the newly bound IP address's subnet, then
you need to use DHCPCFG.NLM to manually configure the subnet
profile.


(8). Configure Workstation Address Assignment Mode
     ---------------------------------------------
In DHCPIO.NLM, there is a load line option(-m) that you can use to
configure workstation address assignment mode.

Load dhcpio -m<mode>

where mode is:

DeleteDuplicate =  If a workstation was in subnet A, it moves to subnet 
                   B later. When workstation sends out request from 
                   subnet B, dhcpsrvr.nlm will delete the address of 
                   that workstation in subnet A, and reassigned a new 
                   address to it in subnet B.

YesDuplicate    =  If a workstation moves from subnet to subnet, 
                   dhcpsrvr.nlm will give out an address to it in 
                   every subnet when it is available.

NoDuplicate     =  If a workstation moves from subnet A to subnet B, 
                   before the address in subnet A is deleted(bootp case) 
                   or expired(dhcp case), dhcpsrvr.nlm will drop the 
                   request. 

For Ex. : load -mYesDuplicate


(9). Remote Install
     --------------
If you encounter an error message said the version of rspawn.nlm
is incompatible with the one on the remote server, please load
the rspawn.nlm from the source CD or directory on the remote server.
