: Select whether to renew ( YES or NO) the lease.
AUTO IP=YES*  Automatically assign a link-local IPv4 address in the form 169.254.x.x.
If you specify  BOOTP=NO*, DHCP=NO*  and AUTO IP=NO* , you can manually set the following
TCP/IPv4 parameters from the control panel:
● Each byte of the IPv4 address (IP)
● Subnet Mask (SM)
● Syslog Server (LG)
