Automatic IP Address Configuration
An IP address can be assigned automatically. You then enter related network settings.
To assign an IP address automatically:
1. On the main menu, click Network.
2. Select Obtain IP address automatically.
3. Enter the following (as necessary):
BOOTP Select Enable to permit the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP)
server to assign the IP address from a pool of addresses
automatically. Enable is the default setting.
DHCP Select Enable to permit the Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) to assign a leased IP address to the XPress
DR+ unit automatically. Enable is the default setting.
AutoIP Select Enable to permit the XPress DR+ to generate an IP in
the 169.254.x.x address range with a Class B subnet. Enable
is the default setting.
DHCP Host Name
Enter the name of the host on the network providing the IP
address.
Note: Disabling BOOTP, DHCP, and AutoIP (all three checkboxes) is not
advised as the only available IP assignment method will then be ARP or the
serial port.
