The <b>dhcp</b> plugin on gateway <b>moon</b> then requests an IP address and DNS/WINS server +information from DHCP server <b>venus</b> using the DHCP protocol. The IP addresses are assigned statically +by <b>venus</b> based on the user-defined MAC address derived by the <b>dhcp</b> plugin from a hash over +the client identity. This deterministic MAC generation is activated with the strongswan.conf setting +<b>charon.plugins.dhcp.identity_lease = yes</b>. +<p/> +With the static assignment of 10.1.0.30 and 10.1.0.40, respectively, <b>carol</b> and <b>dave</b> +become full members of the subnet 10.1.0.0/16 hidden behind gateway <b>moon</b>. And this thanks to +the <b>farp</b> plugin through which <b>moon</b> acts as a proxy for ARP requests e.g. from <b>alice</b> +who wants to ping <b>carol</b> and <b>dave</b>. |
