DHCP Configuration
Familiarity with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) options is required to edit options and save them to
the configuration file.
Enabling DHCP
Enabling DHCP configures a specific network adapter to acquire its IP address and other network parameters
through DHCP. DHCP options determine what additional data is sent to and received from the DHCP server.
To enable DHCP:
1.
In the
MK1200 Configuration Utility
window, select
Enable DHCP
under the appropriate adapter: Onboard Wired
Ethernet.
Figure 4-17
Enable DHCP Window
2.
Check Enable DHCP .
If enabling DHCP to resolve addresses for a network adapter, optionally specify which data fields are sent from or
received by the MK1200 (DHCP options) during DHCP transactions using that network adapter.
Some of the 256 available DHCP options are defined by the IETF in RFC-2132, and appear in the
MK1200
Configuration Utility
window when specifying DHCP options. If desired, add custom DHCP options to this list.
These custom option definitions are stored in the file <install_dir>\dhcpoptions.reg , which the RDM reads upon
launch. If using another computer to edit a configuration file that contains custom DHCP options, transfer the file
<install_dir>\dhcpoptions.reg to this computer to view these custom options.
NOTE Do not use the System Menu or RDM to enable DHCP receive options 1, 3, 6, 15, 44, 46, 47, 66 and 67.
They are already enabled in dhcpoptions.reg as a part of the AirBeam package. Refer to AirBeam
documentation for this configuration.
NOTE If enabling DHCP, you can set DHCP Server; however, this is usually not required. Do not set any other
parameters under Communications.
