DCHP does far more than just offer IP addresses.

-a configures private interconnects. This means it plumbs up an interface, sets DHCP for that interface to provide IP addresses and vendor specific tags (such as auth server, firmware server, firmware rev, etc) , and also configures the tftpboot directory populating it with firmware and parms files. Connections are limited to that interface.

Note that an interconnect must be single-hop, unrouted.

-A does the same thing for an plumbed up interface but does not configure a range of IP addresses to be handed out.

That's just the default, Craig. It can configure a range of IP addresses to be handed out for the specified subnets (via BootP/DHCP helpers/proxies on the remote subnets).

Connections are limited to the subnet that was defined with -A

This is incorrect. SRSS will accept connections from *all* subnets, not just that defined with -A. It will not, however, offer IP addresses to any other subnets.

There is no way to limit SRSS to only accept connections from specified subnets today.

-L allows LAN connections from any network. It does not provide IP addresses or vendor class tags, nor does it populate the firmware directory with firmware files or parms files.

The utadm tool does configure the DHCP server, but it also defines the interconnect for the DTUs. You may need to do "utadm -L on" after running the configuration to enable the interconnect.

it is clear to me that the -L switch of utadm does something else then configuring the DHCP server.

but what about -a and -A?
do they change any setting of the ray server?
or (so i thought so far) does -a and -A only configure DHCP?
