DHCP On/Off (LAN) DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is
a protocol for automatically assigning a dynamic IP address to a device
on a network. DHCP is typically the easiest way to configure your
Agilent 33220A for remote communication using the LAN interface.
• Select DHCP On to use DHCP to automatically assign an IP address.
• The DHCP setting is stored in non-volatile memory and does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
• Front panel operation: Press and press the I/O softkey. Select
LAN, then Modify Settings, followed by IP Setup. By default, DHCP
is On. Press the DHCP On/Off softkey to toggle its state.
• There is no SCPI command to set DHCP On/Off.
Auto IP On/Off (LAN) Auto IP is another protocol for automatically
assigning a dynamic IP address to a device on a network. Typically,
AutoIP will attempt to assign an IP address if DHCP cannot.
• Select Auto IP On to use Auto IP to automatically assign an IP
address.
•If both DHCP and Auto IP fail to assign a valid IP address, the
currently configured static IP Address will be used
• The Auto IP setting is stored in non-volatile memory and does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
• Front panel operation: Press and press the I/O softkey. Select
LAN, then Modify Settings, followed by IP Setup. By default, Auto IP
is On. Press the Auto IP On/Off softkey to toggle its state.
• Remote interface operation:
SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:AUTOip[:STATe] {OFF|0|ON|1}
SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:AUTOip[:STATe]?
Note: If you want to set an IP address, Subnet Mask, or Default Gateway
manually, you must turn off both DHCP and Auto IP. Then change the
IP setup as described in the following sections.
