Step 7: Setting the IP Address

Choosing DHCP or a Static IP Address

When you setup your VTrak, you have the option of:

Enabling DHCP and letting your DHCP server assign the IP address to the VTrak’s management port.

Specifying a static IP address for the VTrak’s management port.

If you choose to enable DHCP, have your Network Administrator dedicate an IP address for the VTrak, linked to the VTrak’s MAC address. This action will prevent the DHCP server from assigning a new IP address when the VTrak restarts, with the result that users can no longer log in.
