Setting up Auto	Auto Network Connect ensures network association even when traversing
Network Connect	subnets. The client automatically associates with the nearest access point that has
	compatible encryption settings and automatically obtains a valid IP address.
	This option requires a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server. The client’s
	network conﬁguration must be set to obtain its IP address automatically. For more
	information on DHCP, see the documentation for your operating system.
