RE: Working it too hard?
Your DHCP requests are only going to be processed during startup. All the router is going to do is handle a helper address, which means when a station boots up it will send a broadcast asking for an IP. The router sees the request and forwards the packet on as a unicast message. There is no real impact on router performance for such a small task. Beware the idiot users though who insist on shutting down their machine each time something happens. 75 idiots can bring down any network. And remember all our jobs would be real easy if only we could get rid of the users. Ciao, daryn -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2000 9:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Working it too hard? I'm trying to setup a temporary LAN and would like my router to handle DHCP requests. My question is what if I'm asking the router to do too much? I'm using a Cisco 1700 series router with about 75 computers running win98. The 1700 only has 1 static route to another router (no heavy processing like extensive access lists here) and nothing else. Am I asking this 1700 series to handle too much? How many PC's asking for IP's before it craps out? What if I use a 2600 series instead? How many PC's could it handle? If it does crap out what can I expect as a reaction? It just freezing or something more sinister? ___ UPDATED Posting Guidelines: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/guide.html FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ UPDATED Posting Guidelines: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/guide.html FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
