Infrastructure

Networking

PagePoint runs as a standalone network with no dependency on customer IT infrastructure.

Current Direction

PPSM appliance owns DNS/DHCP through independent systemd services such as dnsmasq.
PPSM application configures, validates, monitors, and reports network services.
PPOE uses static or PPSM-reserved addressing and does not run network infrastructure services.
If a service must run continuously for PPOE to operate, it remains available even if the PPSM application restarts.

Cutover Result

Live DNS/DHCP ownership moved from PPOE to PPSM on 2026-07-06.
PPOE dnsmasq.service was disabled and inactive after cutover.
PPSM runs pagepoint-dnsmasq.service and pagepoint-validation.service.
PPSM DNS resolves pagepointheadend to 192.168.50.1 and pagepoint-ppsm to 192.168.50.2.
Android validation hostnames resolve to PPSM, where the validation responder returns HTTP 204.
