2.The IAD displays the current status and a prompt:

DHCP Relay is currently DISABLED Enter E to Enable, D to Disable:

Type E to enable DHCP Relay on this port, or D to disable it.

3.The IAD displays the current DHCP server IP address and a prompt:

Current DHCP Server address = 0.0.0.0 Enter new DHCP Server IP address:

Type the new DHCP Server IP address.

4.The IAD saves the changes and displays the Router Configuration menu.

5.Continue with other configuration tasks, or press Escape to return to the Main menu.

6.Reset the IAD (page 14) when you finish router configuration.

Configuring the DHCP Server IP Address

To set the DHCP server IP address:

1.On the DHCP Relay menu, type C to select Configure DHCP Relay.

2.The IAD displays the current IP address and a prompt:

Current DHCP Server address = 94.1.1.1 Enter new DHCP Server IP address: (94.1.1.1) ->
