■ MAC Address changes the Ethernet Physical Address of the bridge. MAC
addresses are assigned to Ethernet adapters by the manufacturers.
■ IP Address changes the IP address of the bridge. The default for this setting
is 1.1.1.1.
■ Subnet Mask changes the IP subnet mask for the bridge. The default for
this setting is 255.255.255.0.
■ Hostname changes the hostname for the bridge. This is an alphanumeric
entry of one word up to 8 characters long.
■ IP gateway changes the IP Gateway for the Ethernet network of the bridge.
■ Ethernet Mode selects from the following Ethernet options:
10Mps Only
100Mps (half duplex) Only
100Mps (full duplex) Only
10/100Mps (Auto-Neg.)

DHCP enables/disables DHCP on the bridge. When DHCP is enabled,
this activates Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and allows the bridge
to be assigned a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server located on the
Ethernet network used by the bridge.
Once DHCP is enabled, it is necessary to select the
[Submit] button and
then
[reboot] the bridge before DHCP will operate.
After the bridge finishes rebooting, the Main menu will appear. DHCP
status can be verified by from the home page of the HTTP interface where
DHCP Client is indicated as “Enabled” if DHCP has been successfully
activated. Note that the IP Address will also appear different than the
former non-DHCP IP Address.
Note To use the DHCP feature, a DHCP server must be operational on the
Ethernet network used by the bridge storage bridge. If the DHCP feature
is used when there is no DHCP server, the standard for DHCP requires
that the bridge wait three minutes for a response from a DHCP server
before timing out. During this period, the bridge menus and functions
will not be accessible.
Your DHCP server may allow you to setup a lease reservation for an IP address
by providing the server with the Ethernet MAC address of the bridge. This sets
the DHCP server to always provide the same IP address to the bridge. This
setup can be useful for remote management of the bridge via Telnet or the
