DHCP and BOOTP configuration
In addition to using manual (static) settings, the VCPS can use a Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to provide the settings the
VCPS needs to operate on a TCP/IP network. The VCPS can also obtain
TCP/IP settings from BOOTP while operating in DHCP mode.

DHCP is enabled by default. To disable or enable DHCP, use the
network
set mode
command in the CLI. Use the
dhcp
command in the CLI to set
DHCP options.
The VCPS makes requests for its network assignment from any DHCP or
BOOTP server. If a valid DHCP or BOOTP response is received, the VCPS
starts the network services. If the VCPS does not receive a valid DHCP or
BOOTP response, it waits 10 seconds and makes the request again. If
there is still no response after the timeout interval of 60 seconds, it waits 5
minutes and starts the cycle over. It continues sending BOOTP and DHCP
requests until it receives a valid network assignment.
