4. Click Submit to save changes. Some changes to the following settings require a reboot for the 
changes to take effect: 
BOOTP Client
DHCP Client
IP Address
DHCP Client ID
Note:
If DHCP or BOOTP fails, AutoIP intervenes and assigns an address.A new DHCP 
negotiation is attempted every 5 minutes to obtain a new IP address. When the DHCP is 
enabled, any configured static IP address is ignored.
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.
