DHCP

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization's network.

Important!

DHCP should only be enabled if you know which IP address the AXIS 2420 will get from the DHCP server, or if your version of DHCP can update a DNS server, which then allows you to access the AXIS 2420 by name. If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, you may have to reset it to the factory default settings (see page 30) and then perform the installation again (see page 12).
