FUNCTION:

Interface to a dhcp or bootp server; exchange network configuration
parameters

SYNTAX:

dhcp []

where:

dhcp

command

paramenter: value: numerical string

set timeout, in seconds

DESCRIPTION:

This command is used to set the network parameters for operation of

the Ethernet port FCC1 (FE) via either a dhcp or bootp server.
Initially the CPU board does not have a valid Ethernet interface
configuration, and, therefore, this interface is inoperable. The initial
configuration must be done either manually from the TERM interface
using the command "net", or, if a dhcp or bootp server is available, it
can be done automatically by the "dhcp" command.
Manually configured parameters are permanently stored. Parameters
configured using the "dhcp" command are temporary and will be lost if
the system is reset or cold started.
Prior to using the "dhcp" command, the IP address must be set to
255.255.255.255 with the "net" command.

USAGE:

Program NetBootLoader (normal operation)
