About Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP)
The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II module includes a Dynamic Host Control Protocol
d use
that
(DHCP) client. By default, the DHCP client is disabled. When a DHCP server is
enabled on the network, the DHCP client will initiate a dialogue with the server
during the boot up sequence. The server will then issue an IP address, Default
Gateway address and Subnet mask to the module. After the new IP address is
received, the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II will reboot with the new IP address.
When a DHCP server is not on the network, ensure that DHCP is disabled an
iConfig or serial configuration to manually set the IP addresses (refer to the
Serial
Configuration/Telnet Session
section for DHCP Enable/Disable information).
If an IP address is already assigned to the device, and DHCP is then enabled,
original IP address is saved. When DHCP is disabled, the saved IP address will be
reinstated and the device will reboot.
