Cyclades User's Guide manual To Change Network Settings Wizard

Wizard Mode

the administrator configures the default basic network settings that were needed to enable logins through the Web Manager. (See “Performing Basic Network Configuration” on page 84, if desired, for more information about the initial network configuration.) You can skip this step if the current settings are correct. Check with your network administrator if you are not sure.

Before making any changes to existing network settings, you may want to review “Performing Basic Network Configuration” on page 84, which provides a form to record information you need to collect ahead of time.

In Expert mode, under Configuration>Network, you can specify additional networking-related information: a Console Banner, a secondary IP address and secondary network mask, and an MTU. See “To Configure Host Settings [Expert]” on page 228. In addition, you can configure syslog servers for ports; specify rules for filtering syslog messages, VPN (Virtual Private Network), SNMP parameters; specify IP filtering rules (for the KVM/net to act as a firewall), and perform other advanced configuration tasks.

See the list of network information to collect under “Performing Basic Network Configuration” on page 84, if needed.

2.In Wizard mode, go to “Step 2: Network Settings.”

If the “DHCP” check box is not checked, the DHCP selection page displays as shown below. If the “DHCP” check box is checked, only the check box appears below the instructions.

Note: If DHCP is enabled, a local DHCP server assigns the KVM/net a dynamic IP address, which can change. The administrator chooses whether or not to use DHCP during initial setup. The initial setting may have been changed since initial configuration.
