NOTE: The 2161DS Console Switch supports BootP (Bootstrap Protocol) and static IP addressing. Dell
recommends that IP addresses be reserved for each unit and that they remain static while the 2161DS
Console Switch units are connected to the network. The 2161DS Console Switch does not support
dynamic IP address assignment or BootP emulation through DHCP. DHCP is supported for both 2161DS-2
and 4161DS appliances.
