IP address assignment
The following are methods available for assigning an IP address to an interface:
Manual assignment. This chapter describes only manual IP address assignment for interfaces.
BOOTP. For information about BOOTP, see "Configuring the BOOTP client."
DHCP. For information about DHCP, see "Configuring the DHCP client."
These methods are mutually exclusive. If you change the IP address assignment method, the new IP address will overwrite the previous address.
