Configuring DHCP

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) assigns dynamic IP addresses to
devices on a network. DHCP ensures that network devices can have a different IP
address every time the device connects to the network.
DHCP may lease addresses to clients indefinitely or for a specific period of time. If
the address expires or the switch is moved to another network segment, you will
lose management access to the switch. If DHCP is enabled, the IP will not function
until a reply has been received from the server. Requests will be broadcast
periodically by the switch for an IP address.
If your network provides DHCP services, you can configure the switch to be
dynamically configured by these services. The DHCP Page contains parameters for
assigning IP addresses to devices.
