2
 and press 
Enter
 to specify whether you are using a static or Dynamic Host 
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) address. A static IP address may be used to provide a user-
defined IP address, netmask and default gateway for the DSR switch. Avocent recommends 
using a static IP address for ease of configuration. DHCP is a protocol that automates the 
configuration of TCP/IP-enabled computers. When DHCP is selected, the IP Address, 
Netmask and Default Gateway settings are automatically assigned to the DSR switch and may 
not be modified by a DS user. If you are using the DHCP option, please configure your DHCP 
server to provide an IP address to the DSR switch and then skip step 5.

ping response.
