Specifies how the IP address is assigned for that interface. Select from the drop down box. Available options: Static (User configured IPv4 address, netmask and system network configuration) or DHCP (Automatically acquired IPv4 address, netmask, and other system network configuration).

Note: DHCP applies to IPv4 addresses only; IPv6 addresses must be statically configured.

If you are configuring the IP Assign method from DHCP to Static, you should add a new default static route. We recommend this be done through the Modify Ethernet IP task (this allows you to set the IP address and the default route in one step). See Modifying the SBC 1000 IP Address and Modifying the SBC 2000 IP Address.

WARNING: If you set the IP Assign method to DHCP, the DNS server(s), NTP server(s), domain name and the default IP Route will be overwritten and configured dynamically. 

Specifics whether a Split DNS should automatically be created using parameters supplied by the DHCP server.

Available options:

• Enabled: Enables Split DNS to be created from each combination of domain-name and DNS server supplied by the DHCP server. When the DHCP-lease expires, the Split DNS settings are automatically removed.
• Disabled: Disables Split DNS and uses DHCP parameters as global settings. When the DHCP-lease expires, the Split DNS settings are removed.

This field is available only when the DHCP Options to Use field is set to IP Address and DNS.
