Configure a Squeezebox for DHCP

Wired Ethernet, DHCP-assigned IP

Configure a Squeezebox for DHCP

Goal

Configure a Squeezebox to use DHCP on wired Ethernet, pointed at your Lyrion Music Server

Prerequisites

  • Device connected by Ethernet to the same subnet as the dev machine
  • Device in setup or init mode (front-button hold 3-6s if needed; new devices are already in setup mode)
  • go-udap installed and on PATH
  • Your Lyrion Music Server's IP address known (e.g. 192.168.1.250)

Steps

  1. Download the example config and edit server_address to your LMS IP.
  2. Discover the device: go-udap discover
  3. Apply the config and reboot: go-udap set <mac> --config dhcp.conf --reboot

Verification

After ~15 seconds, run go-udap getip <mac>. You should see a DHCP-assigned IP from your network's subnet.

Example file

Download dhcp.conf

Notes

  • lan_ip_mode=1 is DHCP; lan_ip_mode=0 is static (see the static IP how-to for that).
  • interface=1 selects wired Ethernet. interface=0 selects wireless.
  • The --reboot flag is necessary; network config changes don't take effect until the device reboots.
