NOTICE: You must reset the IAD (page 2-8) after configuring the IAD as a DHCP
Server for the configuration changes to take effect.
Enable/Disable DHCP Server
When you enable DHCP Server, the IAD sequentially displays and processes
the required configuration commands beginning with Enable DHCP Server.
To enable or disable DHCP Server, follow the steps below:
1 Type “E” on the DHCP Server Configuration menu to select Enable/
Disable DHCP. If DHCP Relay is enabled, the IAD prompts you to disable
DHCP Relay because DHCP Server and DHCP Relay cannot be configured
at the same time. If DHCP Relay is not enabled, the IAD prompts you to
enable or disable DHCP server.
2 Type “E” to enable DHCP Server, or type “D” to disable DHCP Server
and proceed to Step 1 in the next section.
Enable/Disable Checking Additional DHCP Servers
When the IAD boots, you may configure the internal DHCP server to check
for additional DHCP servers on the LAN. If an external DHCP server is
discovered, the IAD-based DHCP service is disabled. To enable or disable
checking for external DHCP servers, follow the steps below.
1 Type “H” on the DHCP Server Configuration menu to select Enable/
Disable Checking for Additional DHCP Servers. The IAD prompts you to
enable/disable Checking for Additional DHCP Servers.

DHCP server debug messages.
