DHCP Mode
Here, you set the DHCP mode.
Note
If DHCP is not enabled in the Agent Configuration menu item, no mode can be selected and
the text "disabled" is displayed.
DHCP Client ID
For the DHCP mode "via Client ID", you can assign an identification string here that is
assigned to an IE switch and will be evaluated by the DHCP server.
DHCP Client Config File Request (Op. 66, 67)
Select this option if you want the DHCP client to use options 66 and 67 to download and
then enable a configuration file.
Note
If a configuration file is downloaded, this triggers a system restart. Make sure that the option
"DHCP Client Config File Request" is no longer set in this configuration file.
