Setting up DHCP over Bridge Interfaces

HP bridges use two different interfaces which can be used to enable DHCP:

Serial and Telnet, and HTTP. The following will describe how to enable and

disable DHCP for each interface.

Note Located on the back of the bridge, a MAC label displays the

unit's Ethernet MAC address. A network administrator can then

use this MAC address to setup a lease reservation on the DHCP

server for the IP address of the bridge. This effectively allows the

bridge to have a permanent IP address that is assigned by the

DHCP server.

Serial and Telnet Interfaces

When the user turns on the bridge, the system reboots and displays the

following Main menu on the hyperterminal window:
