For a detailed description of how automatic IP configuration operates,
please refer to the Configuration Guide on the CD-ROM that
accompanies your Switch or the 3Com Web Site.
You should use the automatic IP configuration method if:
■
your network uses DHCP to allocate IP information, or
■
flexibility is needed. If the Switch is deployed onto a different subnet,
it will automatically reconfigure itself with an appropriate IP address,
instead of you having to manually reconfigure the Switch.
If the Switch is not allocated with an automatic IP address, the IP
configuration will be blank or shown as

If you use the automatic IP configuration method, you need to discover
the automatically allocated IP information before you can begin
