Using DHCP server settings

This section describes how to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to assign an Internet Protocol (IP) address from the operator panel of the TS3500 tape library.

About this task

Note: You can use the DHCP server settings by using the operator panel on the TS3500 tape library, but not by using the Tape Library Specialist Web interface.

The DHCP server acts as an administrator for the network. If you do not assign an Internet Protocol (IP) address for the library, the DHCP can assign it.

To specify that the DHCP server assign an IP address, use one of the following methods, depending on whether your connection uses IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
