Obtaining an IP Address for an Ethernet Connection

You can use either of the following two options to obtain the IP address for the network interface on your computer:

•Retrieve the statically defined IP address and DNS address

•Automatically retrieve the IP address using the Network DHCP server

The Motorola SVG2500 gateway provides a DHCP server on its LAN. It is recommended that you configure your LAN to obtain the IPs for the LAN and DNS server automatically.
