with IP addresses and corresponding netmasks, and to exchange other types of information
associated with DHCP. The IP address provided to a client can be either be based on a range of
predefined static IP addresses defined for Config Mode or it can come from DHCP servers
associated with an IP Pool object.
An IP pool is a cache of IP addresses collected from DHCP servers and leases on these addresses
are automatically renewed when the lease time is about to expire. IP Pools also manage
additional information such as DNS and WINS/NBNS, just as an ordinary DHCP server would. (For
detailed information on pools see Section 5.4, “IP Pools”.)
Defining the Config Mode Object
Currently only one Config Mode object can be defined in cOS Core and this is referred to as the
Config Mode Pool object. The key properties associated with it are as follows:
Use Predefined IP Pool Object The IP Pool object that provides the IP addresses.
Use a Static Pool As an alternative to using an IP Pool, a static set of IP
addresses can be defined.
DNS The IP address of the DNS used for URL resolution (already
provided by an IP Pool).
NBNS/WINS The IP address for NBNS/WINS resolution (already provided
by an IP Pool).
DHCP Instructs the host to send any internal DHCP requests to
this address.
Subnets A list of the subnets that the client can access.
Example 9.7. Setting Up Config Mode
In this example, the Config Mode Pool object is enabled by associating with it an already
configured IP Pool object called ip_pool1.
