The IM4200 family, ACM5508-2-I/M, ACM5504-5-G-I, IM4004-5 and ACM5004-2 console servers also host a DHCP

On the System: IP menu select the Management LAN page and click the Disabled label in the DHCP Server
field (or go to the System: DHCP Server menu and check Enable DHCP Server )

Enter the Gateway address that is to be issued to the DHCP clients. If this field is left blank, the console server


Enter the Primary DNS and Secondary DNS address to issue the DHCP clients. Again if this field is left blank,
console server
’s IP address is used, so leave this field blank for automatic DNS server assignment

Optionally enter a Domain Name suffix to issue DHCP clients

Enter the Default Lease time and Maximum Lease time in seconds. The lease time is the time that a
dynamically assigned IP address is valid before the client must request it again
