Configure protected devices with DHCP

You can enable and configure different types of routing between a HIPswitch and a protected device. The guidance here tells how to use DHCP.

To use DHCP to configure protected devices with IP addresses:

  1. On the HIPservices page, select the HIPswitch to which the device or devices belong.
  2. Select the Ports > Shared network and click Edit Settings.
  3. In the Protocol drop-down, select DHCP.
  4. Click Update Settings.

Protected devices are now dynamically assigned IP address when connected to the HIPswitch.

If a device is not directly connected to a HIPswitch and the HIPswitch requires a route to the device, you can create a static route to the connected devices.
