Setting up your network
The AutoView 3008/3016 switching system uses IP addresses to uniquely identify the switch and
the target devices. The AutoView 3008/3016 switch family supports both Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and static IP addressing. Avocent recommends that IP addresses
be reserved for each switch and that they remain static while the switches are connected to the
network.
