Install a 1769 EtherNet/IP Adapter Chapter 3
If you use the Rockwell Automation BOOTP or DHCP server in an uplinked
subnet where an enterprise DHCP server exists, a module can get an address
from the enterprise server before the Rockwell Automation utility even sees the
module. In this case, 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.
