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 G1369C, and
“B”-firmware (B.06.40 or above) or modules with "D"-firmware. All modules
should use latest firmware from the same set.
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).

NOTE
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.
