Assigning Port IP After Installation

By default, your machine is configured to obtain an automatic IP address via a DHCP server. In some cases, the DHCP server may require the MAC address of the network adapter installed in your machine.

To obtain the MAC address:

  1. Open a CMD console
    [Windows Server 2012 / 2012 R2/ 2016]: Click Start → Task Manager → File → Run new task → and enter CMD.

  2. Display the MAC address as “Physical Address”
