Specifying a Locally Configured IP Address
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is used to dynamically allocate and assign IP
addresses. DHCP allows you to move network devices from one subnet to another without
administrative attention. You can choose to enable DHCP if a DHCP server is present. If you
disable DHCP, you must enter an IP address (the locally configured IP address if not
assigned by a DHCP server), subnet mask (used to partition the IP address into a network
and host identifier), and gateway (IP address of the default gateway the system uses).
