IP Address Source
This features allows the user to select how an IP address is assigned to a cli-
ent computer or network device. Select DHCP (Dynamic Host Confi guration 
Protocol) to allow a client (computer or device) obtains an IP address from a 
DHCP server that manages a pool of IP addresses and network information on 
a "request and grant" basis. Upon time-out (or lease expiration), the IP address 
assigned to the client can be reassigned to a new client. Select Static (Static 
Allocation) to allow the host server to allocate an IP address based on a table 
containing MAC Address/IP Address pairs that are manually entered (probably 
by a network administrator). Only clients with a MAC address listed in the MAC/
IP Address Table will be assigned an IP address. The IP Address allocated to 
the client is on a longer term basis than that assigned by the DHCP mentioned 
in the other option. The options are DHCP and Static.

The BIOS will automatically enter the IP address of this machine; however it may 
be over-ridden. IP addresses are 6 two-digit hexadecimal numbers (Base 16, 0 
~ 9, A, B, C, D, E, F) separated by dots. (i.e., 00.30.48.D0.D4.60).

This item displays the current subnet mask setting for your IPMI connection. The 
value of each three-digit number separated by dots should not exceed 255.
Gateway Address 
The BIOS will automatically enter the Gateway address of this machine; however 
it may be over-ridden. IP addresses are 6 two-digit hexadecimal numbers (Base 
16, 0 ~ 9, A, B, C, D, E, F) separated by dots. (i.e., 00.30.48.D0.D4.60).
Mac Address 
The BIOS will automatically enter the Mac address of this machine; however it 
may be over-ridden. Mac addresses are 6 two-digit hexadecimal numbers (Base 
16, 0 ~ 9, A, B, C, D, E, F) separated by dots. (i.e., 00.30.48.D0.D4.60).
