|
BOOTP Client | Select On or Off. At boot up the XPort Pro will |
| attempt to obtain an IP address from a BOOTP |
| server. |
| Notes: Overrides the configured IP address, network |
| mask, gateway, hostname, and domain. |
| When DHCP is On, the system automatically uses |
| DHCP, regardless of whether BOOTP Client is On. |
|
|
DHCP Client | Select On or Off. At boot up the XPort Pro will |
| attempt to lease an IP address from a DHCP server |
| and maintain the lease at regular intervals. |
| Note: Overrides BOOTP, the configured IP address, |
| network mask, gateway, hostname, and domain. |
|
|
IP Address | Enter the XPort Pro static IP address. |
| You may enter it alone, in CIDR format, or with an |
| explicit mask. |
| The IP address consists of four octets separated by a |
| period and is used if BOOTP and DHCP are both set |
| to Off. Changing this value requires you to reboot the |
| XPort Pro. |
| Note: When DHCP is enabled, the XPort Pro tries to |
| obtain an IP address from DHCP. If it cannot, the |
| XPort Pro uses an Auto IP address in the range of |
| 169.254.xxx.xxx. |
|
|
Default Gateway | Enter the IP address of the router for this network. Or, |
| clear the field (appears as <None>). This address is |
| only used for static IP address configuration. |
|
|
Hostname | Enter the XPort Pro hostname. It must begin with a |
| letter, continue with a sequence of letters, numbers, |
| and/or hyphens, and end with a letter or number. |
|
|
Domain | Enter the XPort Pro's domain name. |
|
|
DHCP Client ID | Enter the ID if the DHCP server uses a DHCP ID. The |
| DHCP server’s lease table shows IP addresses and |
| MAC addresses for devices. The lease table shows |
| the Client ID, in hexadecimal notation, instead of the |
| XPort Pro MAC address. |
|
|
Primary DNS | IP address of the primary name server. This entry is |
| required if you choose to configure DNS (Domain |
| Name Server) servers. |
