3.5.2.11 Enabling/Disabling DHCP
To toggle DHCP on the IE GIGA MC TX/SFP between enable and disable,
press D and then Y. Press the Space Bar once to return to the main screen
without making any changes.
DHCP Disable (Static IP Addressing)
DHCP is disabled in the default configuration. Initially, modules are assigned a
Static default IP Address of 10.10.10.10. Changes to the Static IP Address can
be added manually through iView
2
(iConfig view) or a Console session. The
changes will be initiated following reboot of the module.
DHCP Enable (Dynamic IP Addressing)
If a DHCP server is present on the network and DHCP is enabled, the DHCP
client will initiate a dialogue with the server during the boot up sequence. The
server will then issue an IP address to the management card. Once the new IP
address is received, the SNMP Management Module will reboot so that the new
IP address will take effect. Refer to About Serial Port Configuration for more
information about Enabling/Disabling DHCP.
When there is no DHCP server on the network, use the serial configuration to
manually set the IP addresses.
When DHCP is enabled, the IP address (default 10.10.10.10 or a previously
used IP address, or user-configured) is saved. When DHCP is disabled, the
saved IP address will be reinstated and the device will reboot.
DHCP servers give out lease times: devices renew their leases based on the
administrator-specified time. If a device cannot renew its lease, and the lease
expires, the device will be given the IP address 10.10.10.10 and will reboot.
