DHCP Client Configuration
This procedure explains how to activate and deactivate the DHCP client
on the AT-GS950/48PS switch. When the client is activated, the switch
obtains its IP configuration including an IP address and subnet mask from
a DHCP server on your network. Before performing the procedure, note
the following:
By default, the DHCP client is disabled on the switch.
The DHCP client supports DHCP Auto Configuration
Settings or BOOTP. See “DHCP Auto Configuration”
on page 49 for more information.
After you enable DHCP, your current management
session ends because a different IP address is
assigned to the switch by the DHCP server. The new
IP address can be discovered using the ATI Discovery
Tool. See “DHCP and ATI Web Discovery Tool” on
page 46 for more information.
To activate or deactivate the DHCP client on the switch, perform the
following procedure:
1. From the main menu on the left side of the page, click the System
folder.
The System folder expands.
2. From the System folder, select IP Setup.
The IP Setup Page is shown in Figure 6 on page 32.
3. From the pull-down menu next to the DHCP Mode field, select Enable
or Disable.
4. Click Apply.
When the DHCP client is Enabled, the web server connection to the
switch is lost because a different IP address is assigned to the switch
by the DHCP server.
Caution
Enabling DHCP may end your current management session.
5. Use the ATI Web Discovery Tool to find the new IP address assigned
to the switch by the DHCP server. See “DHCP and ATI Web Discovery
Tool” on page 46 for more information.
