|
| Network Interface | Description |
| Settings (continued) |
|
| DHCPv6 Client | Select to turn On or Off. At bootup, after the physical link is up, the XPort Pro Lx6 |
|
| will attempt to obtain IPv6 settings from a DHCPv6 server and will periodically |
|
| renew these settings with the server. |
|
| On: enables the XPort Pro Lx6 server to obtain IPv6 setting from a DHCPv6 |
|
| server upon bootup. |
|
| Off: enables the XPort Pro Lx6 server to obtain IPv4 settings from a DHCP |
|
| server upon bootup. |
|
| Note: Overrides the configured IP address/mask, gateway, hostname, and |
|
| domain. Changing this value requires you to reboot the device. Within Web |
|
| Manager, click Renew to renew the DHCPV6 lease. |
|
|
|
| IPv6 AutoConf | Select to turn On or Off. |
|
| On: will provide an additional IPv6 addres in addition to the displayed Link Local |
|
| IPv6 address and DHCPv6 IPv6 address. This is the auto configuration address |
|
| provided by the IPv6 router. |
|
| Off: will not display auto configured IPv6 address in CLI or WebUI. |
|
|
|
| IPv6 Address | Enter the static IPv6 address to use for the interface. |
|
| Note: This setting is used if Static IPv6 is active (DHCPv6 is Disabled). Changing |
|
| this value requires a reboot. When DHCPv6 is enabled, the XPort Pro Lx6 tries to |
|
| obtain an IPv6 address from a DHCPv6 server. If it cannot, then XPort Pro Lx6 |
|
| generates and uses a Link local IPv6 address. |
|
|
|
| IPv6 Default Gateway | Enter the default IPv6 Default Gateway. |
|
|
|
| Hostname | Enter the hostname for the interface. It must begin with a letter or number, continue |
|
| with a sequence of letters, numbers, or hyphens, and end with a letter or number. |
|
| This setting will take effect immediately, but will not register the hostname with a |
|
| DNS server until the next reboot. |
|
|
|
| Domain | Enter the domain name suffix for the interface. |
|
| Note: This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if |
|
| DHCP/BOOTP is active and no Domain Suffix was acquired from the server. |
|
|
|
| DHCP Client ID | Enter the ID if the DHCPV6 server requires a DHCPV6 Client ID option. The |
|
| DHCPV6 server’s lease table shows IP addresses and MAC addresses for |
|
| devices. The lease table shows the Client ID, in hexadecimal notation, instead of |
|
| the XPort Pro Lx6 MAC address. |
|
|
|
| Primary DNS | Enter the IP address of the primary Domain Name Server. |
|
| Note: This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if |
|
| DHCP/BOOTP is active and no DNS server was acquired from the server. |
|
|
|
| Secondary DNS | Enter the IP address of the secondary Domain Name Server. |
|
| Note: This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if |
|
| DHCP/BOOTP is active and no DNS server was acquired from the server. |
|
|
|
| MTU | When DHCP is enabled, the MTU size is (usually) provided with the IP address. |
|
| When not provided or using a static configuration, this value is used. The MTU |
|
| size can be from 1280 to 1500 bytes, the default being 1500 bytes. |
