CHAPTER 6
Configuring LAN Devices
Typically, your Internet service provider automatically assigns and configures a dynamic IP
address when your system connects to the Internet. Business or power users may use a static
address enabling them to run advanced services such as Internet servers and video conferences.
The availability of static IP addresses is usually an additional service offered by service providers.
In addition, changes from the default behavior of the gateway for private IP addressing may also
be used by some users.
Note Configure these settings only if you are familiar with computer networking technologies.
