Defining Ip Addresses - D-Link DGS-3100 SERIES User Manual

Defining IP Addresses

The IP Address Page contains fields for assigning IP addresses. Packets are forwarded to the default IP when frames are
sent to a remote network via the Default Gateway. The configured IP address must belong to the same IP address subnet of
one of the IP interfaces. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices on a
network. DHCP ensures that network devices can have a different IP address every time the device connects to the network.
