LABEL DESCRIPTION

enter up to 15 alphanumeric characters with minus signs allowed but
not as the last character. The name must begin with an alphabetic
character (a-z) and is NOT case sensitive.

automatically

Select this if the NSA is automatically assigned an IP address from the
ISP or a DHCP server in your network.
Assign IP
Manually
Select this if you want to assign the NSA a fixed IP address, subnet
mask and default gateway.
Note: Do not configure an IP address that is already in use in your
network. This results to a network IP address conflict and
makes the NSA inaccessible.

Domain Name System (DNS) is for mapping a domain name to its
corresponding IP address and vice versa. Select this if the NSA is
automatically given DNS information from the ISP or a DHCP server in
your network.
