IP Address
The NetDirect must have a unique IP address on your network. This address references the
specific unit. By default, the unit is DHCP-enabled and automatically assigned an IP address on
DHCP-enabled networks. If you are assigning a static IP address, the systems administrator
generally provides the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
Note: The factory default IP address is 0.0.0.0 to enable DHCP, BOOTP, and AutoIP.
When the units boots, it sends a DHCP broadcast to try and get an IP address. If it
receives no reply from a DHCP server, the NetDirect tries BOOTP. If the NetDirect does
not receive a response from BOOTP, it reverts to an AutoIP address.
