IP Address Source

This features allows the user to select how an IP address is assigned to a cli- ent computer or network device. Select DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to allow a client (computer or device) obtains an IP address from a DHCP server that manages a pool of IP addresses and network information on a "request and grant" basis. Upon time-out (or lease expiration), the IP address assigned to the client can be reassigned to a new client. Select Static (Static Allocation) to allow the host server to allocate an IP address based on a table containing MAC Address/IP Address pairs that are manually entered (probably by a network administrator). Only clients with a MAC address listed in the MAC/ IP Address Table will be assigned an IP address. The IP Address allocated to the client is on a longer term basis than that assigned by the DHCP mentioned in the other option. The options are DHCP and Static.

IP Address

The BIOS will automatically enter the IP address for the system when the IP Address Source is set to 'Static'. It can also allow the user to set an IP address for the system If the IP Address Source is set to "DHCP". However, the IP ad- dress may be overwritten. The value of each three-digit number separated by dots should not exceed 255.

Subnet Mask (When IP Address Source is set to 'Static')

This item displays the current subnet mask setting for your IPMI connection. The value of each three-digit number separated by dots should not exceed 255.
