IP Address Configuration
Each computer on the network must have a unique IP address to send and receive data.
You can use the IP Address Configuration page to have your server appliance automatically
obtain the IP address configuration from the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server. Alternately, you can configure the IP address(es) manually.
In addition, you can use the IP Address Configuration page to specify one or more gateway
addresses. A gateway address is the address of a local IP router residing on the same network
as the server appliance that is used to forward traffic to destinations beyond the local
network. The value in each field must be a number from 0–255.
NOTE
Changing the IP address may cause the client to lose its connection with the server appliance. To
reconnect, the user must either use the new IP address or wait until the DNS server is updated.
