Administrator from a DHCP server. The Standby check box is only shown if there is a Standby Onboard
Administrator in the enclosure.
Enable Dynamic DNS—Enables you to use a host name for the Onboard Administrator. The host name is
registered with a DNS server. DDNS updates the DNS server with new or changed records for IP addresses.
This feature enables you to use the same host name over time, although the dynamically assigned IP address
might change.
Use static IP settings for each Active (or Standby) Onboard Administrator—Manually set up static IP settings
for the Onboard Administrator. The Standby check box is only shown if there is a Standby Onboard
Administrator in the enclosure.
