Configuration: Network > Ethernet

Network DHCP	Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol – (Enable, Disable). On
	Ethernet models, if DHCP is enabled, the VBrick gets its IP
	Address or Network Timer Server and Subnet Mask from the
	DHCP server. If the DHCP server supplies the Gateway Address
	or DNS server address, these parameters will replace the user
	entered Gateway and DNS Time Server settings. If DHCP is
	enabled and the VBrick cannot obtain an IP address from the
	server, the VBrick will start in limited run mode after two
	minutes, using its default IP Address of 172.17.5.5. After 15
	minutes, it will automatically reset and again attempt to acquire
	an address. The LCD screen on the front of the VBrick will
	indicate a DHCP failed message. Note: The VBrick appliance
	requires a minimum DHCP lease length of 8 minutes to work,
	however it is recommended to extend the lease time to what is
	maximally available via the network to avoid disruptions.
IP Address	IP Address of the VBrick.
Subnet Mask	Subnet mask for the VBrick address.
