changes to take effect:
 BOOTP Client
 DHCP Client
 IP Address
 DHCP Client ID

negotiation is attempted every 5 minutes to obtain a new IP address. When the DHCP is
enabled, any configured static IP address is ignored.
Network 1 Interface
Configuration
Settings Description
BOOTP Client Select On or Off. At boot up, the device will attempt to obtain an IP address from a
BOOTP server.
Notes:
 Overrides the configured IP address, network mask, gateway, hostname, and
domain.
 When DHCP is On, the system automatically uses DHCP, regardless of whether
BOOTP Client is On.
DHCP Client Select On or Off. At boot up, the device will attempt to lease an IP address from a
DHCP server and maintain the lease at regular intervals.
Note: Overrides BOOTP, the configured IP address, network mask, gateway,
hostname, and domain.
IP Address Enter the device static IP address.
You may enter it alone, in CIDR format, or with an explicit mask.
The IP address consists of four octets separated by a period and is used if BOOTP and
DHCP are both set to Off. Changing this value requires you to reboot the device.
Note: When DHCP is enabled, the device tries to obtain an IP address from DHCP. If
it cannot, the device uses an AutoIP address in the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx.
Default Gateway Enter the IP address of the router for this network. Or, clear the field (appears as
<None>). This address is only used for static IP address configuration.
Hostname Enter the device hostname. It must begin with a letter, continue with a sequence of
letters, numbers, and/or hyphens, and end with a letter or number.
Domain Enter the device domain name.
DHCP Client ID Enter the ID if the DHCP server uses a DHCP ID. The DHCP server’s lease table
shows IP addresses and MAC addresses for devices. The lease table shows the Client
ID, in hexadecimal notation, instead of the device MAC address.
Primary DNS IP address of the primary name server. This entry is required if you choose to configure
DNS (Domain Name Server) servers.
Secondary DNS IP address of the secondary name server.
MTU When DHCP is enabled, the MTU size is (usually) provided with the IP address. When
not provided by the DHCP server, or using a static configuration, this value is used. The
MTU size can be from 576 to 1500 bytes.
