Configuring dynamic IP address

This section describes configuring a dynamic IP adress.

To configure dynamic IP address

  1. Connect to the Ethernet TAP probe internal setup utility, for more information, see Connecting to Ethernet TAP Probe Setup Utility topic.
  2. At the core> prompt, use netparam to specify the protocol appropriate to your network:
    netparam bootconfig dhcp[:hostname]
    

DHCP is the default setting. If you specify a hostname for the Ethernet TAP probe, the probe will attempt to register the host name with the DHCP server, which may then update any name servers on the network.
