Network Interface | DHCP
The P560 controller can act as a DHCP server and/or as a DHCP relay gateway. The DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) service is supported on the LAN interfaces [eth0/ixp0/vlan[n]].
This service enables clients on the LAN to request configuration information, such as an IP address,
from a server. This service can be viewed in the following table:
Figure 60 – DHCP Configuration
By default the AC is configured to act as a DHCP server.
Each LAN interface runs a different instance of the DHCP service. This service is configured by

default gateway and DNS server address are configured automatically according to the interface
settings.
