Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
General Information (DHCP)
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration
protocol used on IP networks. The DHCP functionality is available on all
Agilent HPLC modules with on- board LAN Interface or LAN Interface
Card, and “B”- firmware (B.06.40 or above).
When the initialization mode “DHCP” is selected, the card tries to
download the parameters from a DHCP Server. The parameters obtained
become the active parameters immediately. They are not stored to the
non- volatile memory of the card.
Besides requesting the network parameters, the card also submits its
hostname to the DHCP Server. The hostname equals the MAC address of
the card, e.g. 0030d3177321. It is the DHCP server's responsibility to
forward the hostname/address information to the Domain Name Server.
The card does not offer any services for hostname resolution (e.g.
NetBIOS).

1 It may take some time until the DHCP server has updated the DNS server with the
hostname information.
2 It may be necessary to fully qualify the hostname with the DNS suffix, e.g.
0030d3177321.country.company.com.
3 The DHCP server may reject the hostname proposed by the card and assign a name
following local naming conventions.
