A.4 Configuring a static IP address using ISC DHCP
Example A-3 provides an example of how to configure two hosts with static addresses. You must
assign IP addresses that are outside of the pool of addresses configured in the range option.

A.5 Configuring a multiple subnetwork topology
In addition to the basic two-tier and the single flat-network configuration described in the HP
Insight Control for Linux Installation Guide, Insight Control for Linux also supports the ability to
address a routed network infrastructure behind its management interface.
Because HP Insight Control for Linux relies heavily on DHCP and PXE and TFTP to control the
managed systems, the ability to manage a routed infrastructure lies with the ability of most
routers and layer III switches to forward DHCP requests for a network to a remote address. This
ability is most commonly called dhcp-helper, dhcp-relay, or dhcp-forward depending on your
specific router or switch vendor.
Figure A-9 provides an example of what a routed management or production network might
look like.
