DHCP/BOOTP

Menu Conventions

You select an option from the Menu by using the keyboard up and down arrows to navigate the list. When the menu item you want to access is highlighted, press the Enter key to either get to the next list of options or to get the configuration screen, depending on what you select. When you are done configuring parameters in a screen, press the Enter key and then the Enter key again to Accept and exit the form. If you want to discard your changes, press the Esc key to exit a screen, at which point you will be prompted with Changes will be lost, proceed? (y/n), type y to discard your changes or n to return to the screen so you can press Enter to submit your changes.

If there are a number of predefined options available for a field, you can scroll through those items by pressing the Space Bar or you can type l (lowercase L) to get a list of options, use the up/down arrows to highlight the option you want, and then press Enter to select it.

DHCP/BOOTP

If you have a DHCP/BOOTP server and the Device Server’s Server Service DHCP/BOOTP is enabled, the Device Server can obtain its IP address and several configuration parameters from the DHCP/BOOTP server when it boots up. However, you must use another method for creating the configuration file, like the DeviceManager, WebManager, or the CLI. See DHCP/BOOTP Parameters on page 45 for more information on the DHCP/BOOTP parameters that can be set for the Device Server.

When DHCP/BOOTP is enabled and there is a DHCP/BOOTP server within the network, the IP Address obtained from DHCP/BOOTP will always override the Device Server’s configured IP Address when the Device Server is rebooted.

SNMP

Before you can configure/manage the Device Server using SNMP, you need to set the Device Server IP address and configure a read-write user for SNMP version 3 or a community for SNMP version 1 or 2. You can use DeviceManager, CLI, or the Menu to set the IP address and user/community (don’t forget to reboot the Device Server before connecting with the SNMP manager to make your changes take effect).

Once the IP address and user/community have been set, load the perle-ds1.MIB file from the Device Server CD-ROM into your SNMP manager.

Connect to the Device Server through your SNMP manager using its IP address to configure/manage the Device Server. Expand the PERLE-IOLAN-DS1-MIBfolder to see the Device Server’s parameter folders. Below is an example of the configurable parameters under the ServicesInfo folder.
