3. Enter a file name for the Relation List (for example, control system
configuration), and click Save.
You can leave the Save as type at the default setting:

Use DHCP Software to
Configure Your Adapter
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) software automatically assigns
IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network.
DHCP is based on BootP and maintains some backward compatibility. The
main difference is that BootP was designed for manual configuration, while
DHCP allows for dynamic allocation of network addresses and configurations
to newly attached devices.
Be cautious about using DHCP software to configure your adapter. A DHCP
server typically assigns a finite lease time to the offered IP address.
When 50% of the leased time has expired, the 1734-AENT adapter attempts
to renew its IP address with the DHCP server.
The possibility exists that the adapter will be assigned a different IP address,
which would cause the adapter to cease communicating with the
ControlLogix controller.
