HP Surestore Tape Library Model 20/700 HP Surestore Bridge FC 2/1 LV and FC 4/ - Page 238

Once DHCP is enabled, it is necessary to save the current configuration and reboot the bridge before DHCP will operate. Note For the IP address, Subnet Mask, and IP Gateway address, it is okay to have null values prior to rebooting the bridge. However, if these settings have null values after a reboot, then this indicates the DHCP server was unable to acquire the information for that setting. See note below for more information. Use the following steps to save the current settings and reboot the system: ■ Select X) Return to previous menu ■ Select A) Save Configuration ■ Select X) Return to previous menu ■ Select 4) Reboot After the bridge finishes rebooting, the Main menu will appear. DHCP status can be verified from the Ethernet Configuration menu where DHCP Configuration is indicated as "Enabled" if DHCP has been successfully activated. Note that the IP Address will also appear different than the former non-DHCP IP Address. Note To use the DHCP feature, a DHCP server must be operational on the Ethernet network used by the bridge. If the DHCP feature is used when there is no DHCP server, the standard for DHCP requires that the bridge wait three minutes for a response from a DHCP server before timing out. During this period, the bridge menus and functions will not be accessible. Note Upon initial bridge set-up (first time straight out of the box), the IP Address will be "1.1.1.1" (factory default setting). After initial set-up, all future IP address values will be retrieved from memory in the bridge's CPU as the result of a previous reboot. 240 Ethernet Configuration Appendix D
