the WD My Cloud EX2 device automatically gets the IP address and
other settings from your network.
Select the method of assigning the device’s unique IPv4 address:
• Static : Static IP lets you set an IP address manually. You will be
prompted for IP Address, Subnet mask, Gateway IP address,
and DNS Server. (If you don’t know this information, please
check your router settings.)
• DHCP : DHCP Client causes the WD My Cloud EX2 device to
obtain an IP address and associated settings automatically from
the local DHCP server.

Gateway IP address, and DNS Server in a safe location for
future reference. This information will not be displayed once it
