### Configuring an IP Address with DHCP

This topic, which applies only to PortServer TS 8/16, describes how to set up the PortServer TS 8/16 to use a DHCP server to configure an IP address. This procedure is not necessary unless the default configuration was changed because DHCP is enabled by default.

Digi One RealPort and PortServer TS 2/4 devices do not support DHCP.

#### Command Line Procedure

##### Starting Point

This procedure assumes that you have done the following:

- Connected a terminal to a PortServer TS 8/16 port or established a Telnet session to the PortServer TS 8/16. See Setting Up a Configuration Terminal or Telnetting to a PortServer.
- Logged in as the administrator. See Logging on as the Administrator.

##### Procedure

1. Set up the DHCP server as required.
2. On the PortServer TS 8/16 command line, supply the following command:

`set config dhcp=on`

3. Reboot the PortServer TS 8/16.

#### Web Interface Configuration

The web interface can also be used to set up DHCP on a PortServer TS 8/16.
