Install a 1768 EtherNet/IP Communication Module Chapter 2
If you use the Rockwell Automation BOOTP or DHCP server in an uplinked
subnet where an enterprise DHCP server exists, a module may get an address
from the enterprise server before the Rockwell Automation utility even sees the
module. You might have to disconnect from the uplink to set the address and
configure the module to retain its static address before reconnecting to the
uplink. This is not a problem if you have node names configured in the module
and leave DHCP enabled.
