4.9 DHCP Configuration

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that enables a server to assign an IP address to a device
from a defined range of IP addresses configured for a given network. It allows you to distribute IP addresses from a central
point to various hosts and simplifies the process of configuring the IP addresses to individual hosts.
4.9.1 DHCP server
DHCP automatically allocates network addresses and also delivers configuration parameters dynamically to the clients from
the DHCP server. When DHCP server is enabled, it allows allocation of IP addresses to clients connected to the BSU or SU.
The DHCP Server lets the BSU or SU respond to DHCP requests with the following information:
•
Host IP address
•
Gateway IP address
•
Subnet Mask
•
Lease Time
•
DNS Primary Server IP address
•
DNS Secondary Server IP address
In Routing mode, DHCP Server can be configured for each interface separately. Unless the DHCP Server functionality is
enabled for an interface, the DHCP Server does not respond to the DHCP requests received on that interface.
NOTE: The DHCP Server functionality is available in both Routing and Bridge Modes.
