Generic router configuration

Overview

A router needs to do the following things to be of use for the Aivero On-prem deployment:

  • Provide a DHCP server
  • Allow for assigning a fixed IP to the server machine
  • Allow specifying a DNS server that is advertised to all DHCP clients
  • Allow specifying a NTP server that is advertised to all DHCP clients

Generic steps

  1. Determine the IP of your server machine
  2. Access your router's admin interface
  3. Configure a fixed lease/ip address for your server machine
  4. Configure the IP address of your server machine as a DNS server on the router
  5. Configure the IP address of your server machine as a NTP server on your router
