You must perform this configuration the first time you operate the
switch or after resetting the switch. Type 'y' and then press
<Enter>.
If you wish to accept the default hostname, then press <Enter>.
Otherwise, type a different hostname and press <Enter>.
Perform this step to obtain an IP address for the switch. (eth0 is
the management port of the switch.)
If you wish the DHCP server to assign the IP address, type 'yes'
and press <Enter>.
If you type 'no' (no DHCP), then you will be asked whether you
wish to use the 'zeroconf' configuration or not. If you enter 'yes'
(yes Zeroconf), the session will continue as shown in Table 12.
If you enter 'no' (no Zeroconf), then you need to enter a static IP,
and the session will continue as shown in Table 13.
The management interface will be able to use IPv6 addresses.
This turns on autoconfiguration of the IPv6 addresses. This is
unsuitable for DHCPv6.
