DataMAPt, Inc. Public:DataMAPt Appliance- Network Configuration Setting up your network

DataMAPt appliances come with DHCP enabled by default. In some situations where DHCP is not enabled or for other reasons you may wish to change the configuration. You may also wish to change DNS servers so that your monitoring hostnames resolve correctly. 

We recommend leaving the configuration to DHCP under most situations.
