Setting Description Default

DHCP + Auto configure

Get the IP address automatically from the DHCP server, and

download the configurations from the TFTP server with Opt

66/67 mechanism.

Use fixed IP address Use the IP address assigned by the administrator.

NOTE

We strongly recommend that the administrator assign a fixed IP address to the VPort, since all of the functions

and applications provided by the VPort are active when the VPort is connected to the network. Use

DHCP to

determine if the VPort’s IP address may change when then network environment changes, or the IP address is

occupied by other clients.

Auto Configuration

Since configuring a large number of devices one by one can be extremely time-consuming, DHCP Opt 66/67

provides a mechanism whereby configurations can be saved on a TFTP server. Once a new device is installed,

the configurations can be downloaded to this new device automatically. By doing this, the installer can save a

lot of time and effort in mass device installation. Follow the steps below to use the auto-configuration function

via Opt 66/67.

Step 1:

When VPort P06-1MP-M12 enables the auto-configuration function, it will ask for the IP address from the DHCP

server, and the path of the TFTP server and configuration file.

Step 2:

Once the VPort P06-1MP-M12 completes the IP settings, it will acquire the configuration file from the TFTP

server, and check if this configuration file is correct or not.
