Configuring Protocols
V!CAS
ip.dhcpserver
The V!CAS supports the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol which can
be used to assign local (or remote) hosts IP addresses. This menu is used
to control which IP addresses can be assigned and how long the address
is valid.
The V!CAS acts as a DHCP Server. Client machines (PCs running Win-
dows 95/NT) that support DHCP are generally configured to retrieve
their IP address from the server and adjust their configurations appropri-
ately. With DHCP the retrieved IP address is only valid for a specified
time period, known as the “Lease Time”. Once the lease time has run out,
the server is free to reassign the IP address when needed. The DHCP serv-
er also informs clients of the appropriate nameserver (biboAdmNameServ-
er is used) and default gateway.
