2.5. Assign a Static IP Address

Most networking routers are DHCP servers, meaning that the router

will automatically assign the Network Space MAX an IP address. If

the network is not DHCP-managed, the Network Space MAX will use

APIPA to assign itself a valid IP address of existing network; in some

cases it will assign itself an IP address following the rule 169.254.
