The DHCP client tries to send the lease request for a duration of one minute and if the request fails, the default IP address (192.168.1.2) is assigned to the appliance.
3. Join the appliance to the Grid Master. For information about joining an appliance to the Grid Master, refer to the NIOS Administrator Guide.

A static IP address is set and auto-provisioning is automatically disabled for the appliance after it joins the Grid. If the Grid member fails to join the Grid, then the remote console is enabled for the appliance and you can join the appliance to the Grid through the remote console. You can login to the remote console using the user name admin, and the Grid shared secret as the password.

However, if the static IP address for an appliance is set and network settings are preserved, auto-provisioning will be re-enabled for the appliance but the lease address will not be requested if you reset the database using the CLI command reset database auto_provision.
