DHCP server must be preconfigured with the range of MAC addresses for this server node. The MAC address
is printed on a label that is on the pull-out asset tag on the front panel. This server node has a range of six
MAC addresses assigned to the Cisco IMC. The MAC address printed on the label is the beginning of the
range of six contiguous MAC addresses.
