IP Address Assignment

• You can set a STATIC IP address of the SLA-HARDWARE explicitly using Set Network

Parameters (0x1C).

• If no STATIC IP address has been set, the SLA-HARDWARE will attempt to obtain an IP

address using DHCP.

• If DHCP fails, the SLA-2000 will use a 192.168.1.ddd, where ddd is internally determined

using its MAC address.

• SLA-1500 (etc.): If DHCP fails, the system will use a specific Link Local (RFC 3927)

type address 169.254.1.180.
