Option Description

DHCP plus zeroconf

The switch attempts to obtain an IP address using

DHCP. If DHCP times out, then it uses zeroconf to

obtain an IP address. Zeroconf picks an IP address out

of the block 169.254.0.0/16. To use zeroconf the

network must use the 169.254.0.0/16 block of IP

addresses.

The switch will immediately use zeroconf to determine

an IP address.

Static The user will enter the IP address manually.
