DHCP on the MergePoint SP Manager

The MergePoint SP manager has a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to
quickly and efficiently configure new devices on the Ethernet. It supports Dynamic and Static
DHCP; static DHCP is performed before dynamic DHCP.
DHCP-assigned SPs can be added to a managed SP list automatically if the username and
password of the device match the default username and password.
DHCP on the MergePoint SP manager supports DHCP relay. The DHCP relay is a Bootstrap
Protocol (BOOTP) relay agent that sends DHCP messages between DHCP clients and DHCP
servers on different IP networks. After enabling DHCP relay, you must configure a DHCP relay
server in another physical network.
Once DHCP starts, an activity log is displayed in the DHCP window listing all IP addresses
which have been assigned to SPs.
To set the DHCP parameters in the MergePoint SP5x00 manager:
1. Click SP - DHCP.
2. For dynamic DHCP, specify the Start and End IP range of addresses in the dynamic DHCP
area.

For static DHCP, click Add in the Static IP area and specify the requested parameters.
3. Click Apply.
To set the DHCP parameters in the MergePoint SP5x24/SP5x40 manager:
