Standard Setting In this section, you can specify the IP address, network mask, speed/duplex mode, and MTU settings. In most networks where a DHCP server is enabled, you can simply specify the Use values from a DHCP server option to automatically set the IP address and network mask. Figure 2-2 • IP Assignment. Select either Use values from a DHCP server or Use values below. - If you elect to assign the IP address using Use values from a DHCP server, NETGEAR advises that you set the lease time on the DHCP server/router to a value of at least a day. Otherwise, you might notice that the IP address of the unit changes even when it has been powered down for only a few minutes. Most DHCP servers allow you to assign a static IP address for specified MAC addresses. If you have this option, this would be a good way to ensure your ReadyNAS NVX Business Edition maintains the same IP address even in DHCP mode. Tip: Consider reserving an IP address for the MAC address of this Ethernet interface in your DHCP server (or router). This will give you the stability of a fixed IP address without the effort of maintaining static addresses. - If you assign a static IP address by selecting Use values below, be aware that the browser will lose connection to the ReadyNAS NVX Business Edition device after the IP address has been changed.
