Configuring the Ethernet settings for Web-based remote access: If you have an
accessible, active, and configured dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP)
server on the network, the hostname, IP address, gateway address, subnet mask,
and DNS server IP address are set automatically. You do not need to perform
further configuration tasks to enable the Ethernet connection because the default
value for the DHCP Setting field is Enabled. If you need to configure the
management port, go to "Configuring the management port for text-based remote
access" on page 38; otherwise, go to "Installing Advanced System Management
device drivers" on page 41.
If you do not have a DHCP server on the network, complete the following steps to
configure the Ethernet settings.
