PremierWave XC User Guide 36
Network Interface
Settings Description
DHCP Client Select On or Off. At boot up, after the physical link is up, the PremierWave XC
will attempt to obtain IP settings from a DHCP server and will periodically renew
these settings with the server.
Note: Overrides BOOTP, the configured IP address/mask, gateway, hostname,
and domain. Changing this value requires you to reboot the device.
Note: Within WebManager, click Renew to renew the DHCP lease.
IP Address Enter the static IP address to use for the interface. You may enter it alone or in
CIDR format.
Note: This setting will be used if Static IP is active (both DHCP and BOOTP are
Disable). Changing this value requires you to reboot the device. When DHCP or
BOOTP is enabled, the PremierWave XC tries to obtain an IP address from a
DHCP or BOOTP server. If it cannot, the PremierWave XC generates and uses
an Auto IP address in the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx, with a network mask of
255.255.0.0.
Default Gateway Enter the IP address of the router for this network.
Note: This setting will be used if Static IP is active (both DHCP and BOOTP are
Disable).
Hostname Enter the hostname for the interface. It must begin with a letter or number,
continue with a sequence of letters, numbers, or hyphens, and end with a letter
or number.
Note:
This setting will take effect immediately, but will not register the hostname
with a DNS server until the next reboot.
Domain Enter the domain name suffix for the interface.
Note: This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if
DHCP/BOOTP is active and no Domain Suffix was acquired from the server.
DHCP Client ID Enter the ID if the DHCP server requires a DHCP Client ID option. 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
PremierWave XC MAC address.
Primary DNS Enter the IP address of the primary Domain Name Server.
Note: This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if
DHCP/BOOTP is active and no DNS server was acquired from the server.
Secondary DNS Enter the IP address of the secondary Domain Name Server.
Note: This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if
DHCP/BOOTP is active and no DNS server was acquired from the server.
MTU
When DHCP is enabled, the MTU size is (usually) provided with the IP address.
When not provided by the DHCP server, or using a static configuration, this
value is used. The MTU size can be from 576 to 1500 bytes, the default being
1500 bytes.
