| Network 1 Interface | Description |
|
| Configuration |
|
|
| Settings |
|
|
| DHCP Client | Select On or Off. At boot up, the device 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 device 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 device. |
|
|
| Note: When DHCP is enabled, the device tries to obtain an IP address from DHCP. If it |
|
|
| cannot, the device uses an AutoIP 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 device 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 device 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 device 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. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Secondary DNS | IP address of the secondary name 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. |
