Configuring Address Server Elements for the Broadband Subscriber Management Solution

Configuring a DHCPv4 Address Assignment Pool

Address assignment pools enable you to specify groups of IP addresses that different client applications can share. In this configuration, the extended DHCP local server configuration or the router PPP software uses the address pool to provide addresses to subscribers that are accessing the network.

For PPP, to configure an address assignment pool:

  1. Create and name an address assignment pool.
    [edit]user@host# edit access address-assignment pool AddressPool_1
  2. Edit the address pool family.
    [edit access address-assignment pool AddressPool_1]user@host# edit family inet
  3. Define the address pool network address.
    [edit access address-assignment pool AddressPool_1 family inet]user@host# set network 33.33.0.0/16
  4. Set the address range for the network.
    [edit access address-assignment pool AddressPool_1 family inet]user@host# set range all low 33.33.0.10 high 33.33.127.254
  5. Specify which access profile you want to instantiate.
    [edit]user@host# set access-profile AccessProfile_general

For DHCP local server, to configure an address assignment pool:

  1. Create and name an address assignment pool.
    [edit]user@host# edit access address-assignment pool AddressPool_1
  2. Edit the address pool family.
    [edit access address-assignment pool AddressPool_1]user@host# edit family inet
  3. Define the address pool network address.
    [edit access address-assignment pool AddressPool_1 family inet]user@host# set network 33.33.0.0/16
  4. Set the address range for the network.
    [edit access address-assignment pool AddressPool_1 family inet]user@host# set range all low 33.33.0.10 high 33.33.127.254
  5. Edit the family DHCP attributes.
    [edit access address-assignment pool AddressPool_1 family inet]user@host# edit family inet dhcp-attributes
  6. Set the maximum lease time.
    [edit access address-assignment pool AddressPool_1 family inet dhcp-attributes]user@host# set maximum-lease-time 3600
  7. Set the grace period.
    [edit access address-assignment pool AddressPool_1 family inet dhcp-attributes]user@host# set grace-period 60
  8. Set the router IP address that you want advertised to subscribers.
    [edit access address-assignment pool AddressPool_1 family inet dhcp-attributes]user@host# set router 33.33.0.1
  9. Specify which access profile you want to instantiate.
    [edit]user@host# set access-profile AccessProfile_general

Configuring Extended DHCP Local Server

You can enable the MX Series router to function as an extended DHCP local server. The extended DHCP local server provides IP addresses and other configuration information to a subscriber logging in to the network.

To configure the DHCP local server:

  1. Edit the routing system services.
    [edit]user@host# edit system services
  2. Edit the DHCP local server.
    [edit system services]user@host# edit dhcp-local-server
  3. Define the DHCP pool match order.
    [edit system services dhcp-local-server]user@host# set pool-match-order ip-address-first
  4. Set the authentication password.
    [edit system services dhcp-local-server]user@host# set authentication password auth-psswrd
  5. Edit the values you want included with the username.
    [edit system services dhcp-local-server]user@host# edit authentication username-include
  6. Set the values you want included with the username.
    [edit system services dhcp-local-server username-include]user@host# set domain-name yourcompany.comuser@host# set user-prefix user-defined-prefix
  7. Create and name a DHCP local server group.
    [edit system services dhcp-local-server]user@host# edit group dhcp-ls-group
  8. Specify a dynamic profile that you want the DHCP local server group to use.
    [edit system services dhcp-local-server group dhcp-ls-group]user@host# set dynamic-profile Profile-Triple_Play
  9. Assign interfaces to the group.
    [edit system services dhcp-local-server group dhcp-ls-group]user@host# set interface ge-1/3/0.1 upto ge-1/3/0.5
  10. Edit the DHCP local server trace options.
    [edit system processes dhcp-service]user@host# edit interface-traceoptions
  11. Specify a log file into which you want trace option information to be saved.
    [edit system processes dhcp-service interface-traceoptions]user@host# set file dhcp-server-msgs.log
  12. Specify the DHCP local server message operations that you want saved in the log file.
    [edit system processes dhcp-service interface-traceoptions]user@host# set flag all
