Configuration Protocol (DHCP) address.
• A static IP address can be used to provide a user-defined IP address, netmask and default
gateway for the DSR10241024 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 DSR10241024 switch and cannot 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 DSR10241024 switch and then skip step 6.
