Auto-negotiation is applicable only when you use the Dedicated NIC mode. Auto-negotiation
sets the port speed and duplex mode automatically based on the switch port to which the server
is connected. If you disable auto-negotiation, you must set the port speed and duplex mode

If you chose to enable DHCP, the dynamically assigned IP and MAC addresses are displayed on
the console screen during bootup.
The default username for the server is admin. The default password is password.
