120 Enabling DHCP on the HP N1200-320 4Gb Network Storage Router
DHCP has been successfully activated. Note that the IP Address my also appear different than the former
non-DHCP IP Address.
NOTE: To use the DHCP feature, a DHCP server must be operational on the Ethernet network used by the
network storage router. If the DHCP feature is used when there is no DHCP server, the standard for DHCP
requires that the network storage router wait three minutes for a response from a DHCP server before
timing out. During this period, the network storage router menus and functions will not be accessible.
Special note regarding Ethernet IP, subnet mask, and gateway addresses
Once DHCP is enabled, any “null” readings are acceptable for these 3 options before reboot. The
Ethernet Configuration Menu will also not allow these 3 options to be changed while DHCP is enabled
(since they are automatically configured by DHCP). Here’s an example of the “DHCP-enabled” menu:
