IP Address Source

Select the source of the IP address for this system. If Static is selected, you will need to know and manually enter the IP address of this machine. If DHCP is selected, BIOS will search for a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server in the network it is attached to, and request the next available IP address. The options are DHCP and Static.

The following items are assigned IP addresses automatically if DHCP is selected under IP Address Source above:

IP Address

Enter the IP address for this machine. This should be in decimal and in dotted quad form (i.e., 192.168.10.253). The value of each three-digit number separated by dots should not exceed 255 as shown in the screen below.

Subnet Mask

Subnet masks tell the network which subnet this machine belongs to. The value of each three-digit number separated by dots should not exceed 255.

Gateway Address

This is the IP address of the gateway in the network that the system is connected to. It's usually a router. If "Static" is selected, the subnet mask setting can be entered. The value of each three-digit number separated by dots should not exceed 255.
