Network DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol – (Enable, Disable). On

 

Ethernet models, if DHCP is enabled, the VBrick gets its IP

 

Address or Network Timer Server and Subnet Mask from the

 

DHCP server. If the DHCP server supplies the Gateway Address

 

or DNS server address, these parameters will replace the user

 

entered Gateway and DNS Time Server settings. If DHCP is

 

enabled and the VBrick cannot obtain an IP address from the

 

server, the VBrick will start in limited run mode after two

 

minutes, using its default IP Address of 172.17.5.5. After 15

 

minutes, it will automatically reset and again attempt to acquire

 

an address. The LCD screen on the front of the VBrick will

 

indicate a DHCP failed message. Note: The VBrick appliance

 

requires a minimum DHCP lease length of 8 minutes to work,

 

however it is recommended to extend the lease time to what is

 

maximally available via the network to avoid disruptions.
