102 Using the CMC Web Interface
Use DHCP (For CMC
NIC IP Address)
Enables the CMC to request and obtain an IP address
from the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server automatically.
Default: Checked (enabled)
If this option is checked, the CMC retrieves IP
configuration (IP address, mask, and gateway)
automatically from a DHCP server on your network. The
CMC will always have a unique IP address allotted over
your network.
NOTE: When this feature is enabled, the IP address,
Gateway, and Mask property fields (located immediately
following this option on the Network Configuration page) are
disabled, and any previously entered values for these
properties are ignored.
If this option is not checked, you must manually type the
IP address, gateway, and mask in the text fields
immediately following this option on the Network
Configuration page.
