DHCP/BOOTP AUTO-CONFIGURATION
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
is a
mechanism for automating the configuration of network
devices that uses TCP/IP. When DHCP is enabled, DHCP
configuration acquisition will overwrite any manual
configuration items.
Factory default:
DHCP enabled.
BOOTP
was a precursor to DHCP. The NTDS-A can obtain
configuration from a BOOTP server when no DHCP server is
present.
The following RFC2132 DHCP options defined configuration
items are, when available, used by the NTDS-A for
configuration purposes:
OPTION
#
COMMENTS
Time Offset
2
The value provided will be used for the Time Zone offset configuration,
unless it is defined as zero in which case it will be ignored and the network
device will rely on internal configuration. Note: this option does not provide
information appropriate for dynamic daylight savings time use.
Router

The first IP address provided will be used for router/gateway configuration.
Domain Name Server

as primary and secondary DNS servers.
