Automatically Assign IP Addresses
This guide describes how Freeside can automatically assign IP addresses while provisioning services for a customer.
Create a Service Definition
In the main menu, navigate to: Configuration > Services > Service Definitions
Add a new service definition of the type svc_broadband, choosing the default configuration options
Configure any exports you want for this service. Exporting to a RADIUS server, for example, will allow RADIUS to provision hardware with the assigned IP address.
Create a Router Definition
In the main menu, navigate to: Configuration > Services > Wireless Broadband > Routers > Add a new router
Leave the Assign IP addresses manually box unchecked
Under service types, check the box for your Service Definition
Allocate an Address Block to the Router
In the main menu, navigate to: Configuration > Services > Wireless Broadband > Address Blocks
Enter a gateway and a netmask. For example, Gateway 10.0.0.1 and Netmask of 24. Click the Add button.
Your new network should appear in the list of Address Blocks.
Click the allocate link for the address block. Choose your router, and click the Apply Changes button.
Create a Package with this Service
In the main menu, navigate to: Configuration > Packages > Package Definitions
Add a new Package definition. In the Services section, include your svc_broadband Service in this Package.
Order Package and Provision
Order the new package for a customer. View the customer's Packages tab. Click the link to Provision Service displayed on the Package.
The provisioning page allows you to select from which router/block to provision from. The hardware will be assigned the first available IP address within the selected network block.
Choose from available IP addresses
By default, an IP address is provisioned for the service automatically. If the selected netblock is size /24 or smaller, you may choose to select from a list of available IP addresses within that block.
By clicking on the down arrow button attached to the IP address input box, a list of available IP addresses is revealed. You may choose from this list, or allow Freeside to choose the first available IP address automatically. For network blocks larger than /24, this list would be quite large and will not be displayed.
