DHCP

Clients broadcast messages to the entire network on UDP port 67 and receive responses from the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on UDP port 68. The same ports are used for the BOOTP protocol.

DHCP is used only for the first-time setup of your storage system. Detection of DHCP activity on your storage system by a port scan other than the activity during the first-time setup indicates a serious configuration or software error.
