Defining Device IP Addresses

The IP Addressing page contains links for assigning interface and default gateway IP addresses, and enabling or disabling DHCP.

Defining IP Interface Parameters

The IP Interface Parameters page is used to select whether the device IP address, mask and/or gateway is assigned statically, or dynamically using DHCP. The page is also used to make static assignments, and to approve dynamic assignments received from the DHCP server before they go into affect (until approval, the old address is used).

To open the IP Interface Parameters page, click SystemIP Addressing IP Interface Parameters in the tree view.
