5: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.
Notes:
Some settings require a reboot to take effect. These settings are noted below.

Network Interface | Description |
Settings |
|
BOOTP Client | Select to turn On or Off. At boot up, after the physical link is up, the XPort Pro Lx6 |
| will attempt to obtain IPv4 settings from a BOOTP server. |
| Note: Overrides the configured IPv4 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 XPort Pro Lx6 |
| will attempt to obtain IPv4 settings from a DHCP server and will periodically renew |
| these settings with the server. |
| Note: Overrides BOOTP, the configured IPv4 address/mask, gateway, hostname, |
| and domain. Changing this value requires you to reboot the device. |
| Note: Within Web Manager, click Renew to renew the DHCP lease. |
|
|
IP Address | Enter the static IPv4 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 XPort Pro Lx6 tries to obtain an IPv4 address from a DHCP |
| or BOOTP server. If it cannot, the XPort Pro Lx6 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 IPv4 address of the router for this network. |
| Note: This setting will be used if Static IP is active (both DHCP and BOOTP are |
| Disabled). |
