General DHCP Troubleshooting What happens if the DHCP server cannot be contacted? Serial Interface: the following occurs over the serial line: the following text appears above the Main menu within the hyperterminal window, "Attempting to contact DHCP server..." After about 3 minutes, the following message appears, "Can't renew DHCP boot lease." Within Telnet: the user will see only a blank Telnet window which is not accessible. Instead of an IP address value displaying in the upper left heading of the Telnet window, "(None)" appears instead. Within half a minute, Telnet will produce a warning message stating "Connect Failed!" Within HTTP: the user will be able to submit a new web page and reboot (as is typically the case). However, since the DHCP isn't contacted, a new IP address will not be generated after reboot. Therefore, HTTP will no longer be useful since no IP address is available. The previous non-DHCP will not work either. HTTP will time out and provide a warning message to the user stating that "a connection with server could not be established." 244 General DHCP Troubleshooting Appendix D
