Using DHCP
A DHCP server becomes a single point of failure in your system configuration. If the DHCP server
goes offline, then IP addresses may be lost.
NOTE:
If you plan to bond the NICs, you must use a static IP address.
CAUTION:
If you use DHCP, be sure to reserve statically assigned IP addresses for all storage systems on the
DHCP server. This is required, because management groups use unicast communication.
To set IP address using DHCP

Select from the list the interface you want to configure for use with DHCP.
