drop-down menu, or select Static to define a static IP address.
5. If you select Static, type the Machine IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address in the
appropriate fields.
Notes:
• If you select BOOTP or DHCP, you cannot change the IP address, Subnet Mask, or
default gateway.
• If RARP address resolution mode is selected, you cannot change the IP address. Select

Note: Multicast DNS allows the Apple Bonjour protocol to map host names to IP addresses on a
network without using a conventional DNS server. This is used to advertise printer services over a
network.

the Internet Control Message Protocol Version 6 (ICMPv6). ICMPv6 performs error reporting for IP
along with other diagnostic functions. When first connected to a network, a host sends a link-local
multicast router solicitation request for its configuration parameters. If suitably configured, routers
