The Ethernet menu provides access to configuration and control functions for the Ethernet interface.

Description: Set the state of DHCP/AutoIP system for the Ethernet
port.
If DHCP/AutoIP is enabled (On), the instrument will
attempt to obtain its IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Default Gateway from a DHCP (dynamic host
configuration protocol) server on the network. If no
DHCP server is found, the instrument will select its
own IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway
values using the ―AutoIP‖ protocol.
If DHCP/AutoIP is disabled (Off), the instrument
will use the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default
Gateway values that have been entered by the user
(see System > I/O Config > Ethernet > Extensions).
Menu Type: Toggle.
Choices: On, Off
SCPI Command: SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:DHCP[:STATe]

Description: If DHCP/AutoIP is enabled, reinitializes AutoIP and
sends a DHCP request for an IP address. Note: this
action may result in a new IP Address.
If DHCP/AutoIP is not enabled, rebinds the user specified IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway to the Ethernet adapter.
Menu Type: Action.
Note
The use of the Connection menu item is not necessary in most cases. The same actions are taken at startup
