Digi PortServer II

Page 74 Basic Configuration 90030500B
Using the IP Pool
You can configure PortServer II to use a “pool” of IP addresses for devices connected
to it. PortServer II then assigns an address from the pool each time a device requests a
session.
Creating a pool
To provide a range of IP addresses to use as a pool, enter a command similar to the
following:
set ippool ip=2.4.1.30 count=15
In this example,
2.4.1.30
is the first address in the pool and
15
is the number of
addresses in the pool.
Important:
The IP pool uses a series of consecutive addresses and all addresses in the
pool must be available to PortServer II. For instance, in the example
above, all addresses between
2.4.1.30
and
2.4.1.44
will be assigned to
PortServer II.
Assigning a device to use an address from the IP pool
To configure a device to take an address from the IP pool, enter its IP address as
255.255.255.254
or
ippool
each time you enter a configuration command con-
taining its IP address.
Note:
The device may have a different IP address for each session.
