manually specify the network parameters.
This is the recommended option because the LX is an
infrastructure device and its IP address should not
change.
DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used
by networked computers (clients) to obtain unique IP
addresses and other parameters from a DHCP server.
With this option, network parameters are assigned by
the DHCP server. If DHCP is used, enter the Preferred

following Network Basic Settings fields are enabled:
Global/Unique IP Address, Prefix Length, and
Gateway IP Address allowing you to manually set the
IP configuration.
Router Discovery - Use this option to automatically
assign IPv6 addresses that have Global or Unique
Local significance beyond that of the Link Local, which
only applies to a directly connected subnet.

addresses entered in this section will be used to connect
