C: DHCP Support and APIPA
54 Verint Video Solutions
At startup, an edge device searches for a valid IP network
configuration. The device requires this configuration prior to
starting its functions. The network configuration for Nextiva
devices consists of:
An IP address
A subnet mask
A gateway
The device first looks in its local memory. If no configuration is
found, it tries to contact a DHCP server. If DHCP configuration
fails—if the device does not find a server or if it cannot get a
configuration from it within one minute—the device assigns
itself temporary network settings based on the APIPA
addressing scheme. This scheme allows a device to find a
unique IP address until it receives a complete network
configuration, either manually or from a DHCP server.
A device in APIPA mode does not reside on the same subnet as
the other devices on the IP network; therefore, it may not be
able to see them or be visible to them. Devices use the
following temporary APIPA configuration:
IP address: 169.254. *. *
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Gateway: 169.254. *. *
The *. * portion is based on the MAC address of the device.
A device is in APIPA mode:
The first time it boots up
After receiving a duplicate IP address
After a factory reset
When the DHCP server does not have any available IP
addresses
DHCP configuration is automatically disabled:
After a firmware upgrade
After a factory reset
