Enabling or Disabling DHCP
Warning
When you enable DHCP, the DHCP server assigns an unknown IP
address to the switch, you lose connectivity, and you cannot reset
the switch or turn off DHCP and assign a static IP address.
To enable or disable the DHCP client, perform the following procedure:
1. From the main menu, select System > IP Setup.
The IP Setup Page is shown in Figure 2 on page 20.
2. From the DHCP Client list, choose Enabled or Disabled.
The default setting is disabled.
Note
Enabling DHCP ends your web browser management session. Use
the SSM Utility to determine the switch’s new IP address and
resume managing the switch.
You can access the SSM Utility in one of the following ways:
- Click the SSM Utility link on the AT-GS950/48 Gigabit Ethernet
Smart Switch CD.
- Download the SSM Utility files located in the SSM Utility folder on
the AT-FS750/48 Fast Ethernet Switch CD.
- Download the SSM Utility files from the Allied Telesis website,
