Chapter 7 Configure Switch Features
In this example, the active ring DHCP server recognizes IP address requests
from ring devices 3, 4, and 6 and responds with the position-based IP address
specified in the DHCP table (
Table 43). The ring device index numbers in the
DCHP table begin incrementing in order from the device connected to the
lowest DLR port. For example, in
Figure 19, the DLR ports are Gi1/1 and
Gi1/2. The lowest DLR port is Gi1/1, so the device connected to Gi1/1 has an
index number of 2.

ATTENTION: Use caution with automatic IP address assignment when
wiring DLR with symmetric devices. The controller cannot detect incorrect IP
addresses of identical devices in the wrong position.
