Configuring and managing the iSCSI Initiator 11
Enabling DHCP
You can use DHCP to provide the initiator with an IP address by enabling DHCP from the Network
Configuration menu.
If you are using the DHCP server to obtain an IP address for your iSCSI Initiator, it is recommended that
you set up a reservation. A reservation assigns a specific IP address based on the MAC address of your
iSCSI function. If you do not reserve an IP Address through DHCP, then you must set the lease length for
the iSCSI Initiator IP address to unlimited. This allows the IP address lease not to expire.
