DHCP Auto Configuration Settings

This window is used to enable the DHCP Autoconfiguration feature on the Switch. When enabled, the Switch is instructed
to receive a configuration file from a TFTP server, which will set the Switch to become a DHCP client automatically on
boot up. To employ this method, the DHCP server must be set up to deliver the TFTP server Ip address and configuration
file name information in the DHCP reply packet. The TFTP server must be up and running and hold the necessary
configuration file stored in its base directory when the request is received from the Switch. For more information about
loading a configuration file for use by a client, see the DHCP server and/or TFTP server software instructions. The user
may also cunsult the Upload screen description located in the Maintenance section of this manual.
If the Switch is unable to complete the DHCP auto configuration, the previously saved configuration file present in the
Switch's memory will be used.
To enable the DHCP Auto Configuration State, use the pull-down menu to choose Enable and click the Apply button.
