Initializing NPort’s IP Address
0. Determine whether your NPort needs to use Static IP or Dynamic IP (either
DHCP or BootP application).
1. If NPort is used in a Static IP environment, you can use NPort
Management Suite, ARP, Telnet Console, or Serial Console (NPort Express
ONLY) to configure the new IP address.
2. If NPort is used in a Dynamic IP environment, you can use NPort
Management suite, Telnet Console, or Serial Console (NPort Express ONLY)
to configure NPort to get an IP address dynamically with DHCP,
DHCP/BootP, or BootP.
NOTE Consult your network administrator on how to reserve a fixed IP
address (for your NPort) in the MAC-IP mapping table when using a
DHCP Server or BootP Server. In most applications, you should
assign a fixed IP address to your NPort.
