## Setting the System IP Address

You must specify the method by which an IP address is supplied for the system. If you choose DHCP, the network provides an IP address for the system each time the system is powered on and logs in to the network. If you choose Static, you must provide the IP address, which the system will use every time it is powered on and logs in to the network.

1. Go to the Sun Web Console and click SE6920 Configuration Service.
2. Click Administration > General Settings.
3. Go to the Network Settings section.
4. In the IP assignment box, select either DHCP or Static.
5. If you selected DHCP, click Save.

If you selected Static, enter the following additional information and click Save:

- The IP address you are assigning to the system
- The default gateway IP address you are assigning to the system
- The network mask of the default gateway
- The IP address of the network's domain name server (DNS)

Note -

The web browser you use to manage the system relies on the system's IP address. If the address changes because either you changed it manually or the system was assigned a new one, the browser loses its connection to the system. You must reconnect to the system to continue monitoring and managing the system.
