IPv4 addresses are always enabled. An administrator can also enable IPv6 addresses at the appliance_settings/network/ipv6 level. A procedure to enable IPv6 is used as an example in CLI Equivalent Actions to Web Manager Checkbox Selection on page 16.

Devices

The procedure to configure a static IP address for the primary Ethernet interface is usually performed during installation so that administrators have a fixed IP address for access to the Web Manager and can finish configuration.

To configure a IPv4 or IPv6 static IP address:

NOTE: This procedure configures either an IPv4 or IPv6 static IP address for the ETH0 (eth0) or the ETH1 (eth1) port. You can configure an IPv6 static IP address only if IPv6 is enabled. See CLI Equivalent Actions to Web Manager Checkbox Selection on page 16 for an example of how to enable IPv6.

1.Enter cd appliance_settings/network/devices/<eth0eth1>/settings to navigate to the Settings level for the desired interface.

--:- units cli->cd appliance_settings/network/devices/eth0/settings

2.Enter set ipv<46>_method=static to set the method to static for IPv4 or IPv6.

**:- settings cli->set ipv4_method=static

3.Enter set ipv<46>_method/static/ address=<IP_Address> mask=<netmask> to set the IP address and subnet mask then enter commit to save the change.

--:- settings cli->set ipv4_method/static/ address=172.26.31.10 mask=255.255.255.0

**:- settings cli-> commit
