If you select DHCP, the Console Server will look for configuration details from a DHCP server on your management LAN. This selection automatically disables any static address. The Console Server MAC address can be found on a label on the base plate
Note In its factory default state (with no Configuration Method selected) the Console Server has its DHCP client enabled, so it automatically accepts any network IP address assigned by a DHCP server on your network. In this initial state, the Console Server will then respond to both its Static address (192.168.0.1) and its newly assigned DHCP address
By default, the Console Server 10/100 LAN port auto detects the Ethernet connection speed. However you can use the Media menu to lock the Ethernet to 10 Mb/s or 100Mb/s and to Full Duplex (FD) or Half Duplex (HD)
Note If you have changed the Console Server IP address, you may need to reconfigure your Computer so it has an IP address that is in the same network range as this new address (as detailed in an earlier note in this chapter)
Click Apply
You will need to reconnect the browser on the Computer that is connected to the Console Server by entering http://new IP address
3.3.1 IPv6 configuration
By default, the Console Server Ethernet interfaces support IPv4, however, they can also be configured for IPv6 operation:
