Free IP Address Requirement
With the R4300 chassis, the default startup configuration is DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol), which automatically requests an IP address from your DHCP
server. If you do not have a DHCP server, the R4300 chassis defaults to a static IP
address of 192.168.1.251. If there is no DHCP server in your environment, set the IP
Mode to Fixed IP and assign it a unique IP. This Free IP Address requirement on
R4300 in a Fixed IP mode is same as on R4200 with an installed Remote
Management Card/Controller.
NOTE: The R4200 chassis with a Remote Management Controller/Card (RMC) does
not support DHCP and is always in Fixed IP mode.
