Supported Network Configurations
The Genie obtains an IP address using the Link Local Address (LLA) or DHCP, by default. If
required, a persistent IP address can be assigned (see "
Running the Network Configuration Tool" on
page 24).
The LLA method automatically assigns the Genie with a randomly chosen address on the
169.253.xxx.xxx subnet. After an address is chosen, the link-local process sends an ARP query with
that IP onto the network to see if it is already in use. If there is no response, the IP is assigned to the
device, otherwise another IP is selected, and the ARP is repeated. Note that LLA is unable to forward
packets across routers.
Alternatively, if a DHCP server is present on the network, the Genie is going to issue a DHCP request
asking for an IP address. The DHCP server will then provide the Genie an IP address.
