Configure the DHCP server

The Console Servers also host a DHCP server which by default is disabled. The DHCP server enables the automatic
distribution of IP addresses to devices on the Network Interface or the Management LAN. To enable the DHCP server:
• On the System: IP menu select the Management LAN Interface page and click the Disabled label in the DHCP Server
field (or go to the System: DHCP Server menu and check Enable DHCP Server)
• Enter the Gateway address that is to be issued to the DHCP clients. If this field is left blank, the Console Server's IP
address will be used
• Enter the Primary DNS and Secondary DNS address to issue the DHCP clients. Again if this field is left blank, Console
Server's IP address is used, so leave this field blank for automatic DNS server assignment
• Optionally enter a Domain Name suffix to issue DHCP clients
• Enter the Default Lease time and Maximum Lease time in seconds. The lease time is the time that a dynamically
assigned IP address is valid before the client must request it again
• Click Apply
The DHCP server will sequentially issue IP addresses from a specified address pool(s):
• Click Add in the Dynamic Address Allocation Pools field
• Enter the DHCP Pool Start Address and End Address and click Apply
