Network Interface

Description

 

Settings (continued)

 

 

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 PremierWave XN tries to obtain an IP address

 

 

from a DHCP or BOOTP server. If it cannot, the PremierWave XN 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 Disabled).

 

 

 

 

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 XN 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.
