Service DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 options

The active service address for a system can be either a configured or fixed address, or it can be an address obtained through DHCP.

If a service IP address does not exist, you must assign a service IP address or use DHCP with this action.

To set the service IPv4 address to use DHCP, perform the following steps:
  1. Press and release the up or down button until Service DHCPv4? is displayed.
  2. Press and release the down button. Confirm DHCPv4? is displayed.
  3. Press and release the select button to activate DHCP, or you can press and release the up button to keep the existing address.
  4. If you activate DHCP, DHCP Configuring is displayed while the node attempts to obtain a DHCP address. It changes automatically to show the allocated address if a DHCP address is allocated and activated, or it changes to DHCP Failed if a DHCP address is not allocated.
To set the service IPv6 address to use DHCP, perform the following steps:
  1. Press and release the up or down button until Service DHCPv6? is displayed.
  2. Press and release the down button. Confirm DHCPv6? is displayed.
  3. Press and release the select button to activate DHCP, or you can press and release the up button to keep the existing address.
  4. If you activate DHCP, DHCP Configuring is displayed while the node attempts to obtain a DHCP address. It changes automatically to show the allocated address if a DHCP address is allocated and activated, or it changes to DHCP Failed if a DHCP address is not allocated.
    Note: If an IPv6 router is present on the local network, SAN Volume Controller does not differentiate between an autoconfigured address and a DHCP address. Therefore, SAN Volume Controller uses the first address that is detected.
