Configure a Squeezebox for DHCP
Wired Ethernet, DHCP-assigned IP
A factory-fresh Squeezebox defaults to DHCP, so the minimal config only needs to point it at your Lyrion Music Server.
Example config
# Set your music server's IP:
server_address=192.168.1.250Goal
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-udapinstalled and onPATH- Your Lyrion Music Server's IP address known (e.g.
192.168.1.250)
Steps
- Save the example config above as
dhcp.conf(or download it) and editserver_addressto your LMS IP. - Discover the device:
go-udap discover - 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.
Notes
- Devices default to DHCP, so
lan_ip_mode=1is omitted. - On factory-fresh devices,
go-udap setdefaults to wired Ethernet when--interfaceis not passed (or wireless if--wireless-ssidis), sointerface=1is omitted too. Requires go-udap v2.1.0+; on earlier versions, addinterface=1to the config. - To configure wireless or static IP instead, see Configure a Squeezebox for Wi-Fi with WPA2 or Configure a Squeezebox for static IP.
- The
--rebootflag is necessary; network config changes don't take effect until the device reboots.
