6H12X-08 Overview 1.3.3 Runtime IP Address Discovery This feature enables the 6H12X-08 to automatically accept an IP address from a BootP server on the network into NVRAM without requiring a user to enter an IP address through Local Management. When the 6H12X-08 is connected to the network and powered up, Runtime IP Address Discovery (RAD) checks the 6H12X-08 for an IP address. If one has not been assigned (6H12X-08 IP address set to 0.0.0.0), RAD checks to see if any of the 6H12X-08
