method
The method for configuring LAN settings; it can be one of the following
values:
0 or lan.AUTO: Selects automatic sequencing of configuration methods
1 or lan.MANUAL: Use only manually specified configuration settings
Details
This attribute controls how the LAN IP address, subnet mask, default gateway address, and DNS server
addresses are determined.
When method is lan.AUTO, the instrument first attempts to configure the LAN settings using dynamic host
configuration protocol (DHCP). If DHCP fails, it tries dynamic link local addressing (DLLA). If DLLA fails, it uses
the manually specified settings.
When method is lan.MANUAL, only the manually specified settings are used. Neither DHCP nor DLLA are
attempted.
Example
print(lan.config.method)
Outputs the current method.
For example:
1.00000e+00
