Configuring the HMC as a DHCP server
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides an automated method for dynamic client configuration.
To configure the HMC as a DHCP server, do the following:
- In the navigation area, click HMC Management.
- In the Work area, click Change network settings. The Customize Network Settings window opens.
- Select the LAN adapter that you want to work with and click Details.
- Select Private and then select the network type.
- In the DHCP Server section, select Enable DHCP Server to
enable the HMC as
a DHCP server. Note: You can configure the HMC to be a DHCP server only on a private network. If you use an open network, you do not have the option to select the Enable DHCP.
- Enter the address range of the DHCP server.
- Click OK.
If you configured your HMC to be a DHCP server on a private network, you must verify that your HMC DHCP private network is configured correctly. For information about connecting your HMC to a private network, see Selecting a private or open network.
