Appendix F: Enabling DHCP on the VT5900-SA
3. A default gateway: This is used to specify the address for the nearest VT5900-SA that is used
by the host device to forward addressed packets on to the network.
These previous three options (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway) are necessary for effective
DHCP.
Setting up DHCP
VT5900-SA uses three different interfaces that can be used to enable DHCP: Serial, Telnet, and
HTTP. This following will describe how to enable and disable DHCP for each interface.
Serial and Telnet Interfaces
When the user turns on the VT5900-SA, the system reboots and displays the following Main Menu
on the HyperTerminal window:

Note: For more information about DHCP, refer to documents RFC 2131 and RFC 2132.
Note: Located on the back of the VT5900-SA, a MAC label displays the unit’s Ethernet MAC
Address. A network administrator can then use this MAC Address to set up a lease reservation on
the DHCP server for the IP address of the VT5900-SA. This effectively allows the VT5900-SA
to have a permanent IP address that is assigned by the DHCP server.
