Explanation of the IPv4 address assignment using Ethernet.

The IPv4 address for the Ethernet network interface is assigned in several ways using the following modes:

Note
  • In AutoIP mode, a DHCP client is still trying to obtain an IP address every 120 seconds. On success the IP address is re-assigned. The system then starts using a new, DHCP assigned IP address and the mode is changed back to DHCP mode. The AutoIP mode is an extension of the DHCP mode.
  • All available functions for using Ethernet are explained in Ethernet Interface section of the Reference.
