When DHCP is enabled, the library obtainsan IP address automatically. If DHCP is not enabled, you mustmanually enter an IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask/netprefix.• IPv4 addresses must be entered in dot notation (for example,192.168.0.1). They are limited to numeric characters and do not allowvalues exceeding 255 for dot-separated values.• IPv6 addresses must be entered in the proper notation. IPv6 addresscan be entered in the most common notation, as eight groups of fourhexadecimal digits. 2001:0ff8:55cc:033b:1319:8a2e:01de:1374 is anexample of a valid IPv6 address. Also, if one or more of the four-digitgroups contains 0000, you can omit the zeros and replace them withtwo colons (::), as long as there is only one double colon used in anaddress. Using this notation, 2001:0ff8:0000:0000:0000:0000:01de:1374is the same as 2001:0ff8::01de:1374.• IP Address is the IP address of the library.
