DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) software automatically assigns IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network.

DHCP is based on BootP and maintains some backward compatibility. The main difference is that BootP was designed for manual configuration, while DHCP allows for dynamic allocation of network addresses and configurations to newly attached devices.

Be cautious about using DHCP software to configure your adapter. A DHCP server typically assigns a finite lease time to the offered IP address.

When 50% of the leased time has expired, the 1734-AENT adapter attempts to renew its IP address with the DHCP server.

The possibility exists that the adapter will be assigned a different IP address, which would cause the adapter to cease communicating with the ControlLogix controller.
