DHCP Server Configuration

Basic DHCP Server Setup Tasks

DHCP Server Configuration Menu

This section describes the tasks required to configure the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on the LAN connection.
DHCP allows for dynamic allocation of network addresses and configurations
to newly attached hosts. DHCP reduces the amount of work required to
administer a large network.
When DHCP is enabled, it dynamically assigns an IP address to each device
assigned to the DHCP server on the IAD. You must identify the Ethernet
Interface to correctly implement DHCP Server on your IAD.
You must complete at least these tasks to configure the DHCP server:
•
Enable DHCP (default is disabled) (page 4-60)
•
Configure the DHCP server parameters (page 4-60)
•
Configure the DHCP address range pool (page 4-61)
The DHCP Server commands are all displayed on the DHCP Server
Configuration menu, which is displayed by typing "D" on the Main menu
(Figure 2.2). Remember always to reset the IAD when you have finished
making DHCP Server configuration changes.
Figure 4.56 DHCP Server Configuration Menu
You may sign on as Supervisor or Network Manager to configure the IAD for
use as a DHCP Server. Options that display in the DHCP Server
Configuration menu are the same for both security levels.
