IPv4 supports either dynamically assigned IP addresses obtained from a DHCP server or static IP addresses
that you specify manually.
NOTE: Changing network settings on the Onboard Administrator that you are signed in to will
disconnect you from that Onboard Administrator. After you apply settings, you must sign in to the
Onboard Administrator again.
• DHCP—Obtains the IP address for the Onboard Administrator from a DHCP server.
• Enable Dynamic DNS—Enables you to use a host name for the Onboard Administrator. The host name
is registered with a DNS server. Dynamic DNS updates the DNS server with new or changed records
for IP addresses. This allows you to use the same host name over time, although the dynamically
assigned IP address might change.
• Static IP Settings—Enables you to set up static IP settings for the Onboard Administrator manually.
