DHCP Auto Configuration
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework for passing
configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network.
The
DHCP Auto Configuration Page
allows network managers to change the
configuration file and store it on the TFTP server in their network. This
configuration file is downloaded automatically to all the switches in the network on
which DHCP Auto Configuration is enabled.
The
DHCP Auto Configuration Page
contains the following fields:
• Auto Configuration Via DHCP— Indicates whether or not DHCP Auto
Configuration is enabled in the device.
-
Enable
— Enables DHCP Auto Configuration on the device. This is the
default value.
-
Disable
— Disables DHCP Auto Configuration on the device.
• Renew DHCP Address — When enabled specifies that the device will connect
to the DHCP Server and renew the IP Address after clicking Apply.
-
Checked
— Enables automatic renewal of IP Address on the device.
-
Unchecked
— Disables automatic renewal of IP Address on the device.
This is the default value.
• Force Auto Configuration From DHCP — When enabled specifies that the Auto
Configuration process will take place when the switch is connected to the
DHCP Server to renew its IP Address.
-
Checked
— Enables auto configuration when the switch is connected to
the DHCP Server.
-
Unchecked

to the DHCP Server.
