DHCP Client Configuration
This procedures in this section explain how to activate and deactivate the
DHCP client on the AT-GS950/8 switch. See the following sections:
 "Activate or Deactivate DCHP for IPv4"
 “Activate or Deactivate DCHP for IPv6” on page 54
Activate or
Deactivate DCHP
for IPv4
When the client is activated, the switch obtains its IP configuration
including an IP address and subnet mask from a DHCP server on your
network. Before performing the procedure, note the following:
 By default, the DHCP client is disabled on the switch.
 The DHCP client supports DHCP Auto Configuration
Settings or BOOTP. See “DHCP Auto Configuration”
on page 56 for more information.
 After you enable DHCP, your current management
session ends because a different IP address is
assigned to the switch by the DHCP server. The new
IP address can be discovered using the ATI Discovery
Tool. See “DHCP and ATI Web Discovery Tool” on
page 52 for more information.
To activate or deactivate the DHCP client on the switch for IPv4, perform
the following procedure:
1. From the main menu on the left side of the page, click the System
folder.
The System folder expands.
2. From the System folder, select IPv4 Setup.
The IPv4 Setup Page is shown in Figure 6 on page 32.
3. From the pull-down menu next to the System IP Mode field, select
DHCP.
4. Click Apply.
When the DHCP client is selected, the web server connection to the
switch is lost because a different IP address is assigned to the switch
by the DHCP server.
Caution
Selecting DHCP may end your current management session.
