7:Network Settings

The Network Settings show the status of the Ethernet interface/link and let you configure the settings on the device. Interface settings are related to the configuration of the IP and related protocols. Link settings are related to the physical link connection, which carries the IP traffic.

The EDS-MD4, EDS-MD8 and EDS-MD16 contains one network interface. The Ethernet interface is also called interface 1 or eth0.

Notes:

Some settings require a reboot to take effect. These settings are noted below.

Wait a minimum of 5 seconds after rebooting the unit before attempting to make any subsequent connections.

The blue text in the XML command strings of this chapter are to be replaced with a user-specified name.

Table 7-1shows the network interface settings that can be configured.

Description

Settings

 

BOOTP Client

Select to turn On or Off. At boot up, after the physical link is up, the EDS-MD

 

will attempt to obtain IP settings from a BOOTP server.

 

Note: Overrides the configured IP address/mask, gateway, hostname, and

 

domain. When DHCP is Enabled, the system automatically uses DHCP,

 

regardless of whether BOOTP is Enabled. Changing this value requires you to

 

reboot the device.

 

 

DHCP Client

Select to turn On or Off. At boot up, after the physical link is up, the EDS-MD

 

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 Disabled). Changing this value requires you to reboot the device. When

 

DHCP or BOOTP is enabled, the EDS-MDtries to obtain an IP address from a

 

DHCP or BOOTP server. If it cannot, the EDS-MDgenerates 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 Disabled).
