Address Control (DHCP or Static)
The Address control can be set to DHCP or Static. When set to
DHCP, the analyzer gets its IP address, subnet mask, etc. from the
DHCP server.
If the analyzer has obtained an IP address via DHCP, and you
subsequently switch the Address control to Static, the currently
configured IP address, subnet mask, etc. will be retained until you
change it.
Setting a static IP address for the analyzer can simplify the process
of connecting to it remotely, because the IP address will always be
the same. This is convenient when you can’t walk over to the
analyzer and view the Management Port screen.
If a network administrator needs to reserve an IP address for the
analyzer, you will need to provide the analyzer’s MAC address to
the administrator. See “View or Change the analyzer’s MAC
Addresses” on
