Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
You can use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to automatically assign IP addresses, deliver
IP stack configuration parameters such as the subnet mask and default router, and provide other
configuration information. For more details, see
Assign an IP address using DHCP
.
Auto IP
The Auto-IP protocol automatically assigns an IP address from a reserved pool of standard Auto-IP
addresses to the computer on which it is installed. Digi devices automatically obtain their IP
addresses from a DHCP server. If the DHCP server is unavailable or nonexistent, Auto-IP assigns the
device an IP address. For more details, see
Assign an IP address using Auto-IP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol for managing and monitoring network
devices. SNMP architecture enables a network administrator to manage nodes—servers,
workstations, routers, switches, hubs, and so on—on an IP network; manage network performance,
find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth. For more information on SNMP as a
device-management interface, see

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS)
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) provides authentication and encryption for
ConnectPort LTS products. For more information, see
