Set up procedure
To set up an IP address automatically using DHCP proceed as follows;
Note For details of the BOOTP/DHCP tags (client information items) that are supported
by both BOOTP and DHCP see
Appendix F BOOTP . In addition on Microsoft
Windows NT, DHCP allows for the configuration of WINS server names.
If automatic configuration of Console Server clients is required, only one service
DHCP, BOOTP or RARP should be enabled on your network server.
We strongly recommend that you do not run both the BOOTP and DHCP services
on the same network to configure Console Server clients unless you are very
familiar with the potential interactions that may result.
For information on BOOTP see
Appendix F BOOTP .
1. Set up your DHCP server as required.
See your system documentation for details of configuring the DHCP service on
your server's operating system.
