IPv4 DHCP/AutoIP Enable
Default: Yes
Selections: Yes, No
Yes: DHCP /AutoIP is enabled.
No: DHCP/AutoIP is disabled.
DHCP is an auto configuration protocol that allows a computer to be automatically configured,
which eliminates the need for interaction by a network administrator. DHCP also provides a
central database that tracks computers that connect to the network, which prevents two
computers from accidentally being configured with the same IP address.
AutoIP enables dynamic IP addresses to be assigned to a device when the device is started up.
Whereas DHCP requires a DHCP server, AutoIP does not require a server when selecting an IP
address. A host configured with AutoIP receives an IP address of 169.254.xxx.xxx.
Notice!
When you enable DHCP /AutoIP, the module does not use the IPv4 address, subnet mask, or
gateway. The corresponding fields on the page are disabled, but previously entered values
show and cannot be changed. If you disable DHCP/AutoIP, you must set the IPv4 address,
subnet mask, and gateway.
