Use the Rockwell Automation BOOTP/DHCP Utility

The Rockwell Automation BOOTP/DHCP utility is a standalone program that incorporates the functionality of
standard BOOTP/DHCP software with a user-friendly graphical interface. The BOOTP/DHCP utility is in the Utils
directory on the RSLogix 5000 installation CD. The module must have DHCP enabled (factory default and the network
address switches set to an illegal value) to use the utility.

To configure your module by using the BOOTP/DHCP utility, perform the following steps.

1. Run the BOOTP/DHCP software.

The BOOTP/DHCP Request History dialog box appears, showing the hardware addresses of devices issuing
BOOTP/DHCP requests.

2. Double-click the hardware address of the device you want to configure.

The New Entry dialog box appears showing the device’s Ethernet Address (MAC).
