Hi,
I need to setup a server to handle DHCP/DNS and TFTP for a network. On the DHCP side there are a few things that I am not sure of, so I would appreciate any advice on what DHCP Server to go for. I have looked at Incognito and it seems to do all I need but it is quite expensive. It is for a cable network, so there will be at least 2 different scopes in play - (local ip given to cable modem and public ip given to network card or router connected to cable modem) Here is what I need it to be able to do: * I want to set the lease's to a couple of hours, and set it so that after the lease has expired they will get a different public IP regardless of whether the one they are releasing is still available. * Is it possible to set it up that the modem will always have the same public ip even if the network card connected to it changes (I know I can make a reservation for the modem on the local ip scope, but can it be tied to an address in the public scope?) I also want to run DNS and TFTP on the server, what would you recommend? If there was one that could be easily enough managed from a GUI frontend it would be even better so that I don't need to make every little change to the system. Again, any help/advice appreciated, Regards, Gerry |
