Setting Up DHCP

Your network must support DHCP and an active DCHP server must be present for dynamic addressing to work. If you select DHCP and your
network does not include an active DHCP server, the IP address settings will default to addresses in the 169.254.x.x range. Consult your network
administrator for more information.
Access the Network page to set up the DHCP options. For information on accessing the Network page, refer to Setting Up DX8000 Network
Access on page 143.

1. In the Network page, click the check box labeled Obtain An IP Address Automatically (DHCP).
2. Click Apply.
