DHCP enables a computer to be automatically configured which eliminates the need for
interaction by a network administrator. DHCP also provides a central database that tracks
computers that connect to the network, which prevents two computers from accidentally
being configured with the same IP address.
AutoIP enables dynamic IP addresses to be assigned to a device when the device is started up.
DHCP requires a DHCP server.
When this parameter is set to Yes, the IPv4 address, IPv4 Subnet Mask, and IPv4 Default
Gateway are grayed out. You cannot change them.
When this parameter is set to No, set the IPv6 Mode parameter to No. When the IPv6 Mode
parameter is set to Yes, this parameter is not available (grayed out).
The parameter has no effect on B450 Plug-in Communicator Interface operation.

IPv4 Subnet Mask
Default: 255.255.255.0
Selections: 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
This parameter sets the address for the IPv4 Subnet Mask.
If the IPv4 DHCP/Auto IP Enable parameter is set to Yes, this parameter is grayed out (you do
not have access to it).
If the IPv4 DHCP/Auto IP Enable parameter is set to No, enter the IPv4 sub-network mask
here.
Subnetting breaks the network into more efficient subnets to prevent the excessive rates of
packet collision in a large network. A significant feature of subnets is the subnet mask.
Applying a subnet mask to an IP address allows control panels to more efficiently identify the
network and node parts of the address.
