3. Decide which type of addressing you want the library to use.
Dynamic — The library is issued an IPv4 address by the DHCP server
and an IPv6 address through address assignment. Both are

Static (highly recommended) — The library uses fixed IP addresses.
If you select static addressing, enter the following information:
Note: When entering IP addresses, do not include http: or https:
For BlueScale12.6.45.3 or earlier:
For BlueScale12.7.05 or later:
4. Optionally, enter the IPv4 address for a Domain Name Server.
If you plan to use NTP to automatically set the library’s date and time,
you must enter a valid IPv4 address for at least one DNS server used by
the NTP service (see
Set the Date and Time on page 119).
Notes: Although the BlueScale software only accepts an IPv4
address for DNS devices, the library accepts both IPv4 and
IPv6 addresses from the DNS devices.
To delete an already saved DNS setting, clear the field.
