Dhcp Server Configuration - Moxa Technologies EtherDevice User Manual

How To Use MOXA EtherDevice Server
Another point to consider is whether or not EDS is connected to a DHCP
network. In the next section, we explain how to configure your DHCP
host to reserve a specific IP address for MOXA EtherDevice Server. By
reserving a specific IP address, you will always be able to locate EDS by
Telnet or Web Browser.

DHCP Server Configuration

This section applies if your MOXA EtherDevice Server is connected to a
LAN that uses a DHCP Server to assign IP addresses to connected hosts.
A DHCP server is set up to assign IP addresses to hosts as they log onto
the network, so that if EDS is enabled as a DHCP client, then its IP
address could change each time it is powered up. If you will need to
access EDS's configuration and management functions over the network
(by Telnet or web browser), it will be more convenient for you to assign
EDS a fixed IP address. What we describe in this section is how to
configure your DHCP Server to reserve an IP address for exclusive use by
EDS. The configuration procedure requires knowing EDS's MAC address,
which can be found on its product label.
STEP 1
