You can choose to turn off dynamic IP addressing and use static IP addressing instead, see "Configuring a DSM
v6100 via Static IP Address" below. DHCP is managed via the CLI, the DHCP CLI commands are available in the
Network category of commands and are described in detail in the DSM Administration Guide.
The DSM appliance eth0 interface is now DHCP-enabled by default. This section describes how to configure the
DSM appliance with DHCP enabled. You must have a DHCP Server properly configured to ensure that the DSM
appliance gets the correct IP address.
After accepting the license agreement and changing the CLI administrators password, you need to set the host name
and configure an NTP server. The following sections describe the procedures to configure the DSM using DHCP:
Configure appliance with DHCP enabled
1. Assemble required information using the checklist (see "DSM Installation Checklist" on the facing page)
2. "Specify host name resolution method" on page26, if required
3. "Configure DSM ports" on page27, if applicable
4. "Configuration tasks" on page27
5. "Configuration tasks" on page27
6. "Configuration tasks" on page27, if you choose to use this feature
7. "Generate DSM Certificate Authority and create ACS" on page82
8. "Configuring High Availability for V6100" on page45
9. "Add more CLI administrators (optional)" on page62
Configuring a DSM v6100 via Static IP Address
If you do not want to want to use DHCP, you can turn it off using the CLI and assign static IP addresses to the DSM
interfaces. The DHCP CLI commands are available in the Network category commands sub-menu and are described
in detail in the CLI chapter of the DSM Administrators Guide.
To turn off DHCP, do the following and then proceed with the procedures described below, "Configure appliance with
static IP address enabled" on the facing page.
Log on to the CLI console with the CLI administrator credentials and enter the Network category of commands, and
turn off DHCP on the eth0 interface:
0001:network$ ip dhcp release <interface> version 4
Example:
0001:network$ ip dhcp release eth0 version 4
