Wiki source code of DHCP Server

3.1	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.
1.1	2
2.3	3	There are a few caveats:
1.1	4
2.2	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
3.1	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
2.2	8	* The DHCP Server is never enabled at startup
	9	* Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server are imported from the processor's own settings
3.1	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

3.1	12	====== Configuring DHCP Server from the Console (SHOWRUNNER™ v3.009+): ======
1.1	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//
2.1	21	* Disabling~:// sr dhcp server disable//
1.1	22	* Viewing Addresses: //sr dhcp server bindings//
2.3	23
3.1	24	====== Configuring the DHCP Server from showrunnerHUB™ (SHOWRUNNER™ v3.010+): ======
2.3	25
	26	This feature is coming soon.
