The bottom part of this page shows the current configuration. The After Reboot column
in the Current Configuration section of this page shows the settings that will take effect
the next time the EDS reboots.
Changes to the following settings require the EDS to be rebooted before the new settings
take effect:
BOOTP Client
DHCP Client
IP Address
Network Mask
MAC Address
DHCP Client ID
Notes: Some settings in the Current Configuration section, such as IP
Address and Network Mask have a Delete link you can click to delete the
setting. If you click this link, a warning message asks whether you are sure you
want to delete the setting. Click OK to delete the setting or Cancel to keep it.

Description
BOOTP Client Select whether the EDS should send BOOTP requests. Changing this
value requires the EDS to be rebooted. Choices are:
On = EDS sends BOOTP requests on a DHCP-managed network. This
setting overrides the configured IP address, network mask, gateway,
host name, and domain settings. If DHCP is set to On, the EDS
automatically uses DHCP, regardless of whether BOOTP Client is set to
On.
Off = EDS does not send BOOTP requests.
DHCP Client Select whether the EDS IP address is automatically assigned by a DHCP
server. Changing this value requires the EDS to be rebooted. Choices
are:
On = EDS receives its IP address automatically from a DHCP server,
regardless of the BOOTP Client setting. This setting overrides the
configured IP address, network mask, gateway, host name, and domain
settings.
Off = EDS does not receive its IP address automatically.
IP Address Enter the EDS static IP address. The IP address consists of four octets
separated by a period and is used if BOOTP and DHCP are both set to
Off. Changing this value requires the EDS to be rebooted.
Note: When DHCP is enabled, the EDS tries to obtain an IP address
from DHCP. If it cannot, the EDS uses an Auto IP address in the range of
169.254.xxx.xxx.
