Appendix D Auto IP Report Protocol
NPort Series provides several ways to configure Ethernet IP addresses. One method is DHCP
Client. When you set up the NPort to use DHCP Client to configure Ethernet IP addresses, a
DHCP request is sent automatically over the Ethernet to find the DHCP Server. In response, the
DHCP Server will send an available IP address to the NPort. The NPort will use this IP address for
a period of time after receiving it. But the NPort will eventually send another DHCP request to the
DHCP Server. Once the DHCP Server realizes that this IP address is to be released to other DHCP
Clients, the NPort will be assigned a different IP address. For this reason, users sometimes find
that the NPort will use different IP addresses at different, instead of always using the same IP
address.
In order to find out which IP address the NPort is using, you need to configure parameters under
Network Settings via your Web browser. The figure below shows NPort’s Web console
configuration window. Enter the IP address and the Port number of the PC that you want to send
this information to.
