IP Address Source
This features allows the user to select how an IP address is assigned to a cli-
ent computer or network device. Select DHCP (Dynamic Host Confi guration
Protocol) to allow a client (computer or device) to obtain an IP address from a
DHCP server that manages a pool of IP addresses and network information on
a "request and grant" basis. Upon timeout (or lease expiration), the IP address
assigned to the client can be reassigned to a new client. Select Static (Static
Allocation) to allow the host server to allocate an IP address based on a table
containing MAC Address/IP Address pairs that are manually entered (probably
by a network administrator). Only clients with a MAC address listed in the MAC/
IP Address Table will be assigned an IP address. The IP Address allocated to
the client is on a longer term basis than that assigned by the DHCP mentioned
in the other option. The options are DHCP and Static.
IP Address
The BIOS will automatically enter the IP address for this machine; however it
may be overwritten. The value of each three-digit number separated by dots
should not exceed 255.
