DHCP Server

Version 2.3 by Alexander Mott on 2022/06/17 17:47

SHOWRUNNER™ now includes a built-in DHCP server to make large startups even easier, without the need to run a personal router or third party software to address devices on the local network.

There are a few caveats:

  • The DHCP Server cannot be enabled on processors with routers (PROx/AVx/CPxN), since these processors already have built in DHCP Servers on their Control Subnet
  • The DHCP Server cannot be enabled on VC-4 instances.
  • The internal DHCP Server is not designed to be used in production and can only be enabled manually
  • The DHCP Server is never enabled at startup
  • Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server are imported from the processor's own settings
Configuring DHCP Server from the Console:

Console Commands set the start address as the processor IP Address + 10.  The end address as the processor IP Address + 10 + 1/2 the size of the subnet.

Example for Processor IP Address of 10.0.0.10 and a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0 (/24):
Start Address: 10.0.0.20
End Address: 10.0.0.147

  • Enabling: sr dhcp server enable
  • Disabling: sr dhcp server disable
  • Viewing Addresses: sr dhcp server bindings
Configuring the DHCP Server from showrunnerHUB™:
