I have Mac OS X Server and would like to use an IP address assigned by a DHCP server, though Mac OS X Server does not have an option for DHCP. What option do I choose?
DISCUSSION Mac OS X Server was primarily designed to be a server with a manually assigned (static) address. Using a dynamically assigned address on a server may affect server performance. Although Apple has not implemented DHCP client services under Mac OS X Server, bootp may be used for Mac OS X Server to request an IP address from a DHCP server. However, bootp will not offer some services offered with a DHCP client, such as time delimited leases. When using bootp to request an IP address from a DHCP Server, ensure that the DHCP server has the option for "reservation" to respond to any bootp request. |
