| 1 | SHOWRUNNER™ now includes an internal 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. Assigning IP addresses using a DHCP server makes it possible to discover devices in the Device Discovery Tool and connect to them via Ethernet for further configuration. | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | There are a few caveats: | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | * 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 | ||
| 6 | * The DHCP Server cannot be enabled on VC-4 instances | ||
| 7 | * The internal DHCP Server is not designed to be used in production and can only be enabled manually. Devices should still be configured with static IP addresses | ||
| 8 | * The DHCP Server is never enabled at startup | ||
| 9 | * Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server are imported from the processor's own settings | ||
| 10 | * Certain devices (such as GLPACs and GL-IPACs) may refuse to accept a DHCP assigned address if they have been powered up for a period of time without a DHCP server on the network. Power cycling them should resolve this issue | ||

| 12 | ====== Configuring DHCP Server from the Console (SHOWRUNNER™ v3.009+): ====== | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | 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. | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | Example for Processor IP Address of 10.0.0.10 and a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0 (/24): | ||
| 17 | Start Address: 10.0.0.20 | ||
| 18 | End Address: 10.0.0.147 | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | * Enabling: //sr dhcp server enable// | ||
| 21 | * Disabling~:// sr dhcp server disable// | ||
| 22 | * Viewing Addresses: //sr dhcp server bindings// | ||
