a. Select an address from the Server IP Configuration list.
b. Select an address from the Switch - Server IP Configuration Preferred Address list.
NOTE
If the “hostname” contains invalid characters, the host name does not display in the list.
Valid characters include alphanumeric and dash (-) characters. The IP address is selected
by default. If an IPv6 address is selected, server start up will fail.
If DNS is not configured for your network, do not select the ‘hostname’ option from either
the Server IP Configuration or Switch - Server IP Configuration Preferred Address list.
Selecting the ‘hostname’ option prevents clients and devices from communicating with
the Server.
If you select a specific IP address from the Server IP Configuration screen and the selected
IP address changes, you will not be able to connect to the server. To change the IP
address, refer to “Configuring an explicit server IP address” on page157.
