Setting a Static IP Address

The appliance can be configured to use a static IP address. Before setting a static IP address, ensure that the address you are trying to assign is not already in use by another computer on the network. If you are using a multi NIC server, and want to enable load balancing, multiple NICs must be both connected to, and given IP addresses on the same subnet.

4.Select the NIC that you want to configure:

5.Click on tab of the NIC you want to configure.

The appliance now uses a fixed IP address to access the network. To configure additional NICs in a multi NIC server, repeat this procedure.
