DHCP Server
When enabled, the DHCP server allows allocation of IP addresses to hosts on the Ethernet side of the SU or BSU (or) to
the connected SU's (in case, the DHCP server is enabled in BSU). Specifically, the DHCP Server feature lets the SU or
BSU respond to DHCP requests from Ethernet hosts/connected SU's (in case, the DHCP server is enabled in BSU) with
the following information:
• Host IP address
• Gateway IP address
• Subnet Mask
• DNS Primary Server IP address
• DNS Secondary Server IP
Click Configure > Network > DHCP Server to enable the unit on a DHCP Server.
The following parameters are configurable:
• DHCP Server Status: Verify that DHCP Relay Agent is disabled. After you have made at least one entry in the DHCP
server IP Pool Table, enable DHCP Server by selecting Enable from the DHCP Server Status pull-down menu.
NOTE: There must be at least one entry in the DHCP server IP Pool Table to enable DHCP server. Also, DHCP
server cannot be enabled if DHCP Relay Agent is enabled.
• Subnet Mask: The unit supplies this subnet mask in its DHCP response to a DHCP request from an Ethernet host.
Indicates the IP subnet mask assigned to hosts on the Ethernet side using DHCP.
• Gateway IP Address: The unit supplies this gateway IP address in the DHCP response. It indicates the IP address of
a router assigned as the default gateway for hosts on the Ethernet side. This parameter must be set.
• Primary DNS IP Address: The unit supplies this primary DNS IP address in the DHCP response. It indicates the IP
address of the primary DNS server that hosts on the Ethernet side uses to resolve Internet host names to IP
addresses. This parameter must be set.
• Secondary DNS IP Address: The unit supplies this secondary DNS IP address in the DHCP response.
• Number of IP Pool Table Entries: The number of IP pool table entries is a read-only field that indicates the total
number of entries in the DHCP server IP Pool Table. See Add Entries to the DHCP Server IP Pool Table.
