• When DHCP is enabled on a JACE-4/5, you cannot change the settings for IP
address, subnet mask, default gateway, or DNS domain name using the Admin
Tool because these settings are unavailable (see Figure 3-11). You can change
the list of DNS servers, but upon reboot, the list will be refreshed with
information from the DHCP server. To change any of these parameters, disable
DHCP and manually set all of them.
