B o o t M e t h o d
The boot method sets the way the device receives its IP address.
The choices include Auto, Static, BOOTP, DHCP, and RARP.
Auto Tries DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP, then sets to Static if the
IP address is not automatically set using any of the
previous methods.
Static
Use if your network uses fixed configuration. The IP
address remains the same every time the device connects
to the network.
BOOTP
The device broadcasts its hardware address and the MAC
address and the BOOTP server responds with the IP
address.
DHCP
The network automatically assigns IP addresses within a
specified range to devices when they are first turned on.
A device could have a different IP address every time it
connects to the network.
RARP The device sends a RARP request and the RARP server
responds with an IP address. The device knows its MAC
address and the server responds with the IP address.
