DHCP Discovery fresh out the box

    Hi All,

    When booting up an Aruba Instant straight out of the box, why does it force itself to want a DHCP address even though on initial startup the boot has been broken and a static IP address has been configured?

    Why does it ignore the static IP? And is there a command to force it to ignore the DHCP discovery?

    I have noticed this using an instant 275 and 305.

    What commands did you use to set that IP address?

    I used the setenv commands at the AP boot menu. Once the AP had booted menu

    I could see the IP had entered into the static IP address section of the access point, but it was still using a dhcp address that it had picked up from the server
