DHCP

Note:

The DHCP functionality is implemented from the 7.0 firmware.

The DHCP functionality allows to turn on/off an automatic IP address setting from the available DHCP server. The DHCP functionality may be turned on/off in the web configurator for modules and iSMA Configurator.

DHCP Algoritm

The DHCP functionality works according to the following algorithm:

The DHCP algorithm

If the DHCP functionality is enabled and the DHCP server is available, all network configuration is provided by the DHCP server, and there is no possibility to edit the IP address/mask/default gateway.
If the DHCP functionality is enabled and the DHCP server is not available, the IP address is provided by Auto IP, and its structure is the following:
- 169.254.XXX.XXX, where XXX.XXX is calculated based on 2 last bytes of the module's MAC address.
If the DHCP functionality is disabled, the user sets the IP address, mask, and gateway manually.
