3050/3100/3200 switch at the same speed as the Ethernet switch to which it is attached. After

4. Type
2 and press Enter to specify whether you are using IPv4 or IPv6, and whether you are
using a static or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) address.
A static IP configuration may be used to provide a us
er-defined IP address, netmask or prefix
length, and default gateway for the AutoView 3050/3100/3200 switch.
DHCP is a protocol that automates the configuration of TCP/IP-enabled computers. When
DHCP is
selected, the IP address, netmask or prefix length, and default gateway settings are
automatically assigned to the AutoView 3050/3100/3200 switch and may not be modified by
an AutoView 3050/3100/3200 switch user.
If you are using the DHCP option, please configure your DHCP server to provide an IP address
to
the AutoView 3050/3100/3200 switch and then skip to step 6.
