VTrak E-Class Product Manual
Choosing DHCP or a Static IP Address
When you setup your VTrak, you have the option of:
• Enabling DHCP and letting your DHCP server assign the IP address to the
VTrak’s virtual management port.
• Specifying a static IP address for the VTrak’s virtual management port.
If you choose to enable DHCP, have your Network Administrator dedicate an IP
address for the VTrak, linked to the VTrak’s MAC address. This action will
prevent the DHCP server from assigning a new IP address when the VTrak
restarts, with the result that users can no longer log in.
To access the MAC address for VTrak’s virtual management port:
• In the CLI, type net -v and press Enter.
• In the CLU Main Menu, highlight Network Management and press Enter.
Then highlight Virtual and press Enter.
