DynamicHost Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
You can use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to automatically assign IPaddresses, deliver

configuration information. For more details, see Assign an IPaddressusing DHCP.
Auto IP
TheAuto-IPprotocol automatically assignsan IPaddressfrom a reserved pool of standard Auto-IP
addressesto the computer on which it isinstalled. Digi devices automatically obtain their IP
