Auto mode
In this mode, the machine will scan the network for a DHCP server,
if it can find one, and if the DHCP server is configured to allocate an
IP address to the machine, then the IP address supplied by the
DHCP server will used. If no DHCP server is available, then the
machine will scan for a BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is
available, and it is configured correctly, the machine will take its IP
address from the BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is not available,
the machine will scan for a RARP server. If a RARP server also does
not answer, the IP Address is scanned through APIPA facility, see
page 2-1. After it is initially powered ON, it may take a few minutes
for the machine to scan the network for a server.
