IP Address Report
When NPort products are used in a dynamic IP environment, users must spend more time with IP
management tasks. For example, if the NPort works as a server (TCP or UDP), then the host, which acts as
a client, must know the IP address of the server. If the DHCP server assigns a new IP address to the NPort,
the host must have some way of determining the NPort’s new IP address.
NPort products help out by reporting their IP address periodically to the IP location server, in case the
dynamic IP has changed. The parameters shown below are used to configure the Auto IP report function.
There are two ways to develop an “Auto IP report Server” to receive NPort’s Auto IP report.
1. Use Device Server Administrator’s IP Address Report function.
2. Auto IP report protocol, which can receive the Auto IP report automatically on a regular basis, is also
available to help you develop your own software. Refer to Appendix E for details about the Auto IP
report protocol.
