Network Configuration

„IPv4 Configuration / IPv6 Configuration

The CN8000 can either have its IPv4 or IPv6 address assigned dynamically at boot-up (DHCP), or it can be given a fixed IP address. IPv6 is disabled by default. To enable IPv6, check “Enable IPv6 Configuration”.

ŠFor dynamic IP address assignment, select the Obtain IP address automatically [DHCP], radio button. (This is the default setting.)

ŠTo specify a fixed IP address, select the Set IP address manually [Fixed IP], radio button and fill in the IP address.

Note: 1. If you choose Obtain IP address automatically, when the switch starts up it waits to get its IP address from the DHCP server. If it hasn’t obtained the address after one minute, it automatically reverts to its factory default IP address (192.168.0.60.)

2.If the CN8000 is on a network that uses DHCP to assign network addresses, and you need to ascertain its IP address, see IP Address Determination, page 165, for information.

„IPv4 DNS Server / IPv6 DNS Server

The CN8000 can either have its DNS server address assigned automatically, or a fixed address can be specified.

ŠFor automatic DNS Server address assignment, select the Obtain DNS server address automatically, radio button.

ŠTo specify a fixed address, select the Set DNS server address manually, radio button and fill in the required information.

Note: Specifying an alternate DNS Server address is optional.
