If you do not interrupt the network assignment process, your ADC will contact a DHCP server after a timeout to obtain its network details. If contact is successful, then your machine will be assigned the following information.
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
DNS Server
We advise that you only operate the ADC using a DHCP address if that IP address links permanently to the MAC address of the ADC within the DHCP server. We always advise using a FIXED IP ADDRESS when using the virtual appliances. Follow the steps in Changing the Management IP Address and subsequent sections until you have completed the network configuration.
