A UAFX Station has at least one UAFX-capable network interface. Since UAFX uses IP for different types of data exchange, each network interface shall have at least one IP address (excluding localhost) and respective interface parameters such as subnet mask, default gateway address, and DNS server address. The IP addresses of network interfaces (and respective interface parameters) of the UAFX Station are configured as a part of the bootstrapping process. This configuration can be provided in an automated manner or manually. A particular IP address allocation method is not mandated to be used as long as an IP address allocation method produces no conflict in the network.
