Configure the Authentication Device IP Address
CAUTION: If you are not using a DHCP server to assign IP addresses, DO NOT CONNECT THE
AUTHENTICATION DEVICE TO THE NETWORK until you have set the IP Address manually. See
Manually Assign the IP Address on page 29.
Secure Access Authentication Devices are configured for DHCP communication by default. You need to
assign an IP address to each Authentication Device, and set the server IP address of the DCE
component. There are two methods to assign the IP address:
• You can use a DHCP server to assign addresses. Follow Configure the DHCP Server to Locate the
Authentication Devices on page 28.
• If you are not using a DHCP server, or if you prefer not to set option 230 on your DHCP server, you
need to use the Authentication Device Web Admin application to set the addresses manually.
Follow
Manually Assign the IP Address on page 29.
Configure the DHCP Server to Locate the Authentication Devices
The instructions below are specific to a Windows DHCP server. If your DHCP server runs on a different
platform (for example UNIX, Linux, OS X server, OpenVMS, AS/400 DHCP servers), ensure that you
configure the DHCP server to pass the DCE server address in value 230.
Note: For additional technical information on using DHCP to assign IP Addresses to the Secure
Access Authentication devices, refer to the Setting the Secure Access Authentication Device IP
Address White Paper located on
