3.2.2.3 Ethernet Wired/DHCP/APIPA

When connecting MPLAB® ICE 4 In-Circuit Emulator to the Ethernet, request a DHCP (or APIPA) IP address.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices that are connected to the network. Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) is a feature in Windows operating systems that enables computers to automatically self-configure an IP address and subnet mask when their DHCP server isn’t reachable.
