Select All. Go to step4.

When Server IP Configuration is set to All, you can select any available IP address as the
Return Address. If you select a specific IP address, the Return Address list shows the same IP
address and you cannot change it.
4. Select the return IP address in the Client - Server IP Configuration Return Address list.
5. Select the preferred IP address in the Switch - Server IP Configuration Preferred Address list.
If DNS is not configured for your network, do not select the ‘hostname’ option from either the
Return Address or Preferred Address list. Selecting the ‘hostname’ option prevents clients and
devices from communicating with the Server.
