This page is used to configure the Network interface on the device.
There are two configuration tables displayed. The first table shows the current running configuration. The second table shows the configuration that will take effect after the device is rebooted.
The following items require a reboot to take effect:
If there is an IP Address, Network Mask, Gateway, Hostname, or Domain configured for the device and BOOTP or DHCP is turned on, the original configuration items are ignored. BOOTP/DHCP will auto-discover and eclipse those configuration items.
If both BOOTP and DHCP are turned on, DHCP will run, but not BOOTP.
When BOOTP or DHCP fails to discover an IP Address, a new address will automatically be generated using AutoIP. This address will be within the 169.254.x.x space.
