Boot Protocol (BOOTP), another protocol that performs an identical
function, is not available on the AT-LX3800U system.

To enable or disable DHCP, perform the following procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, select System Configuration.

The System Configuration Menu is shown in Figure 4 on page 22.

2. From the System Configuration Menu, select IP Parameters and

press Enter.

The IP Parameters Menu is shown in Figure 5 on page 23.

3. Select one of the following parameters:

Disable DHCP
Disables DHCP on the chassis.

Enable DHCP
Enables DHCP. If you enable DHCP, you must reset the chassis in
order for the internal management module to start issuing DHCP
requests to obtain its IP configuration.

The chassis issues up to three requests for its IP configuration from
the DHCP server. If the DHCP server does not respond, the chassis
uses the assigned IP address, if one was manually assigned.
