When Using Dhcp - Gestetner CP6244 Operating Instructions Manual

When Using DHCP

Note the following points when using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Pro-
tocol).
Supported systems
Windows 2000 Server, Windows NT Server 4.0 and NetWare 5 can be config-
ured as a DHCP server.
Configure the machine with a reserved IP address
To always assign the same IP address, configure a reserved IP address using the
DHCP server.
Note
When multiple DHCP servers are used, reserve the same address with each
DHCP server. The Network Interface Board needs to receive information
from the DHCP server that it contacts.
Follow these steps to configure the machine with a reserved IP address.
