Obtaining an IP Address for an Ethernet Connection
You can use either of the following two options to obtain the IP address for the
network interface on your computer:
• Retrieve the statically defined IP address and DNS address
• Automatically retrieve the IP address using the Network DHCP server
The Motorola SVG2500 gateway provides a DHCP server on its LAN. It is
recommended that you configure your LAN to obtain the IPs for the LAN and DNS
server automatically.
