Configure DHCP and TFTP servers
The S8100 system is shipped with DHCP and TFTP servers installed on the TN2314 Processor circuit
pack. These servers can be used if the customer does not already have DHCP and/or TFTP servers on
their network. To use the embedded DHCP and/or TFTP servers, they must be configured as described in
this section.
DHCP server
IP addresses for IP telephones and other IP devices can be assigned manually. Alternatively, IP addresses
can be assigned automatically using a DHCP server. Customers can use the DHCP server provided with
the S8100 system or use a DHCP server already on their network.
CAUTION:
The S8100 DHCP server and another network DHCP server should not both be configured
to support the same IP devices at the same time.
