Setting Up and Configuring Cisco Video Portal 4.0
Caution
We recommend that you do not use DHCP to obtain an IP address for your Video Portal appliance, due to
the sometimes unpredictable expiration of IP addresses in DHCP systems and the administrative overhead
of reconfiguring other devices to reestablish disrupted connections (for depoloyments or any other purpose).
We further recommend that you do not change the static IP address that you assign to the appliance.
4.
Enter IP address and routing information.
•
If your appliance will obtain its IP address from a DHCP server, select Yes.
