IP Settings

Subnet Mask The network subnet mask. For example, 255.255.0.0.

Default Gateway Specify the gateway IP address that will provide general access beyond the local network.

Field Options: IPv4 address

Default Gateway When DHCP/BOOTP is enabled, you can enable this option to have the

ObtainIOLAN receive the Default Gateway IP address from the DHCP/BOOTP

Automatically server.

Default: Enabled

IPv6 Settings

Overview

The parameters in IPv6 settings are used to access the IOLAN and are how the IOLAN accesses the network.

Field Descriptions

Configure the following parameters:

Obtain IPv6

When enabled, you can configure the IOLAN to obtain the IPv6 address(es)

Address(es) using

using IPv6 Autoconfiguration or a DHCPv6 server.

 

Default: Enabled

IPv6

When enabled, the IOLAN will send out a Router Solicitation message. If a

Autoconfiguration

Router Advertisement message is received, the IOLAN will configure the IPv6

 

address(es) and configuration parameters based on the information contained in

 

the advertisement. If no Router Advertisement message is received, the IOLAN

 

will attempt to connect to a DHCPv6 server to obtain IPv6 addresses and other

 

configuration parameters.

 

Default: Enabled

DHCPv6

When enabled, requests IPv6 address(es) and configuration information from

 

the DHCPv6 server.

 

Default: Disabled
