Using LAN
DHCP Configuration
If the DHCP server uses dynamic DNS to link the hostname with the assigned IP address, the
hostname may be used in place of the IP address. Otherwise, the hostname is not usable.
For more information on the DHCP configuration, refer to “Configuring the DHCP LAN (Agilent
MXG)” on page 33 or “Configuring the DHCP LAN (ESG/PSG/E8663B)” on page 33 .
AUTO (DHCP/Auto-IP) Configuration (Agilent MXG)
DHCP and Auto- IP are used together to make automatic (AUTO) mode for IP configuration.
Automatic mode attempts DHCP first and then if that fails Auto- IP is used to detect a private
network. If neither is found, Manual is the final choice.
If the DHCP server uses dynamic DNS to link the hostname with the assigned IP address, the
hostname may be used in place of the IP address. Otherwise, the hostname is not usable.
Auto- IP provides automatic TCP/IP set- up for instruments on any manually configured networks.
For more information on the AUTO (DHCP/Auto- IP) configuration, refer to “Configuring the DHCP
LAN (Agilent MXG)” on page 33 .
