6. Change protocol from "Static Address" to DHCP client. Set an appropriate hostname (such as antMiner) then click Save and Apply.


What would be the advantage of DHCP vs static? With DHCP you will need to check it (IP) every time you want to login or ssh.
Not a big deal, of course, but why bother?

In my case, I have IPs all handled from a central DHCP server. Prevents weird conflicts occurring and I can assign a static lease from the server to ensure a device always has the same IP if it really bothers me. Just a matter of personal choice, I find it a lot easier to administer given I have dozens of various devices running across a whole bunch of different private subnets...
