This chapter describes the tasks required to configure the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on the LAN connection.

DHCP allows for dynamic allocation of network addresses and configurations to newly attached hosts. DHCP reduces the work required to administer a large network.

This chapter contains the following topics:

￿Basic DHCP Server setup tasks (page 155)

￿Using the DHCP Server Configuration Menu (page 156)

￿Enabling DHCP Server (page 156)

￿Checking for Additional DHCP Servers (page 157)

￿Configuring DHCP Server parameters (page 157)

￿Configuring the DHCP Address Range Pool (page 158)

￿Configuring DHCP Client Entries (page 158)

￿Displaying DHCP Server details (page 160)

￿Displaying DHCP Server statistics (page 161)

￿Displaying DHCP Server assigned/unassigned addresses (page 161)

￿Displaying DHCP Entry details (page 162)

￿Deleting a DHCP Client entry (page 162)

￿Deleting a DHCP Assignment entry (page 162)

NOTE When the IAD prompts you for input, the current value is displayed in parentheses. To conveniently accept the current value, just press Enter.

Tasks

When DHCP is enabled, it dynamically assigns an IP address to each device assigned to the DHCP server on the IAD. You must identify the Ethernet Interface to correctly implement DHCP Server on your IAD.

You must complete at least these tasks to configure the DHCP server:

￿Enable DHCP (default is disabled)

￿Configure the DHCP server parameters

￿Configure the DHCP address range pool
