TCP/IP Network Characteristics
Displaying the DHCP Setting
Use the SHOW/LIST/MONITOR INTERNET command to display the current
DHCP setting. The example in the Displaying the Internet Address and Subnet
Mask section in this chapter shows a typical display.
Configuring Default Values
If you enable DHCP but also want the access server to function in the event that a
DCHP server is not available, you can define default values for some of the
DHCP-learned IP information in NVRAM using DEFINE commands. Follow the
procedures in this chapter for setting the IP address, subnet mask, DNS values,
WINS values, and gateways. You can also use the Access Server Manager to set
these values. See the Access Server Manager’s online help for details.
When the access server initializes, it writes the default values from NVRAM to
RAM. If a DHCP server responds to the access server’s request for information,
the DHCP-learned values overwrite the default values in RAM. If a DHCP server
does not respond, the access server uses the default values.
Overriding DHCP-Learned Values
To override DHCP-learned values, use SET commands after initialization
completes. Follow the procedures in this chapter for setting the IP address, DNS
values, WINS values, and gateways or use the Access Server Manager (see the
Access Server Manager online help for details).
