Setting up your network
The DSR switching system uses IP addresses to uniquely identify the switch and the target devices.
The DSR switch 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 DSR switches are connected to the network. For additional information on
setting up the DSR switch using the DSView Server software, and for information on how the DSR
switch uses TCP/IP, see the DSView Installer/User Guide.
