How to Start an AT-GS950/24 WEB Management Session
13
Enabling and Disabling the DHCP Client
The AT-GS950/24 Gigabit Ethernet Smart switch only has a web
management interface and does not have local console connections. This
means that you cannot observe the management IP address of the switch
without knowing it, which you need to enter the correct IP address in the
browser. When a DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address, it is
not advertised over the network. As a consequence, you do not know what
IP address has been assigned to the switch. Fortunately, there is an ATI
Web Discovery Tool available that addresses this issue. It detects the
MAC address, IP address and other information of the AT-GS950 series
switches that are present on your local area network.
If you power cycle the switch before you select Save Configuration
to Flash, the IP address will revert to its original setting.
This procedure explains how to activate and deactivate the DHCP client
on the switch. When the client is activated, the switch obtains its IP
configuration, its IP address and subnet mask, from a DHCP server on
your network. Before performing the procedure, note the following:
By default, the DHCP client is disabled on the switch.
The DHCP client does not support BOOTP.
After you enable DHCP, your current management session ends
because a different IP address is immediately be assigned to the
switch by the DHCP server.
To activate or deactivate the DHCP client on the switch, do the following
procedure:
1. From the main menu on the left side of the page, click the System
folder.
The System folder expands.
2. From the System folder, select IP Setup.
The IP Setup Page is shown in Figure 5 on page 9.
3. From the pull-down menu next to the DHCP Mode field, select Enable
or Disable.
By default, this field is set to Disable.
4. Click Apply.
