5. Use the ATI Web Discovery Tool to find the new IP address assigned
to the switch by the DHCP server. See “DHCP and ATI Web Discovery
Tool” on page 52 for more information.
Note
The ATI Web Discovery Tool is available for download on the AT-
GS950/48 product page at
alliedtelesis.com .
6. Follow the procedure to log on with the new IP address provided by
the DHCP Server as described in “Establishing a Remote Connection
to the Web Browser Interface” on page 24.
7. Save your new settings or any changes to the configuration file by
selecting Save Settings to Flash from the main menu on the left side
of the page.
If you do not save the new configuration when DHCP is enabled, the
software reverts to the previously saved IP address value when the
switch is power cycled or rebooted. If no IP address has been
previously saved, the IP address value reverts to 192.168.1.1.
If you enable DHCP and then save your configuration, you are saving
the DHCP setting. The next time the switch boots up, it will use the
DHCP process to establish the IP address used to manage the AT-
GS950/48 switch.
If you enter a new IP address after disabling DHCP and save your
configuration, the disabled DHCP setting and the new IP address on
the switch is saved. The next time the switch boots up, it will respond
to the IP address that you entered when you re-establish contact with
the AT-S116 Management software.
Activate or
Deactivate DCHP
for IPv6
When the client is activated, the switch obtains its IPv6 configuration
including an IPv6 address and prefix length from a DHCPv6 server on
your network. Before performing the procedure, note the following:
 By default, the DHCP client is disabled on the switch.
 The DHCP client supports DHCP Auto Configuration
Settings. See “DHCP Auto Configuration” on page 56
for more information.
 After you enable DHCP, a different IP address is
assigned to the switch by the DHCP server.
Note
The ATI Web Discovery Tool does not discover IPv6 addresses. If
use of this tool is required, use only IPv4 addresses.
