Configuring the DHCP Server

To enable DHCP to configure IP address for connected devices, the

administrator must perform DHCP configuration manually. The root user logs

into the OnBoard command line and does the following steps.

• Enables the dhcpd by editing /etc/dhcpd.sh.

• Makes the appropriate configuration changes and specifies fixed

addresses for all devices in the /etc/dhcpd.conf file.

• Saves the configuration file changes in the firmware using the

saveconf command.

• Reboots or restarts the dhcpd service manually.
