Configuring IP address negotiation
IP address negotiation can be implemented in the following two modes:
• The router operating as the client—This mode applies when a local interface uses PPP as its link
layer protocol but does not have an IP address, whereas the peer is configured with an IP address
and with an address pool. In this mode, the interface accepts an IP address allocated by its peer.
This mode is used for situations where the router accesses the Internet through an ISP.
• The router operating as the server—In this mode, you must configure a local IP address pool in
domain view or system view to specify the range of the IP addresses to be allocated, and then bind
the address pool to the interface in interface view.

2. Assign an IP address of a global
address pool to the peer or
specify the IP address to be
allocated to the peer.
• (Method 1) Define a global
address pool and bind it to the
interface:
a. ip pool pool-number
low-ip-address
[ high-ip-address ]
b. interface interface-type
interface-number
c. remote address pool
[ pool-number ]
• (Method 2) Specify the IP
address to be allocated to the
peer:
d. interface interface-type
interface-number
e. remote address
ip-address
Use either method.
As for the remote address pool
command, if the pool-number
argument is not provided, the
global address pool numbered 0
is used.
