IP Address Source
Select the source of this machine's IP address. If Static is selected, you will need
to know the IP address of this machine and enter it to the system manually in the
fi eld below. If DHCP is selected, the BIOS will search for a DHCP (Dynamic Host
Confi guration Protocol) server in the network it is attached to, and request the next
available IP address. The options are DHCP and Static.
The following items are assigned IP addresses automatically if DHCP is selected
under IP Address Source above:
IP Address
Enter the IP address for this machine. This should be in decimal and in dotted quad
form (i.e., 192.168.10.253). The value of each three-digit number separated by dots

Subnet masks tell the network which subnet this machine belongs to. The value of
each three-digit number separated by dots should not exceed 255.

9, A, B, C, D, E, F) separated by dots. (i.e., 00.30.48.D0.D4.60).
