Network DHCP

Default - Enabled. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol –

 

(Enable, Disable). On Ethernet models, if DHCP is enabled, the

 

VBrick gets its IP Address and Subnet Mask from the DHCP

 

server. If the DHCP server supplies the Gateway Address or

 

DNS server address, these parameters will replace the user

 

entered Gateway and DNS settings. If DHCP is enabled and the

 

appliance cannot obtain an IP address from the server, it will start

 

in limited run mode after 90 seconds, using its default IP Address

 

of 172.17.5.5. After 15 minutes, it will automatically reset and

 

again attempt to acquire an address. The LCD screen on the front

 

of the VBrick will indicate a DHCP failed message. Note: The

 

VBrick appliance requires a minimum DHCP lease length of 8

 

minutes to work, however it is recommended to extend the lease

 

time to what is maximally available via the network to avoid

 

disruptions.

 

 

DHCP Retry Interval

See above. Use to adjust the time before the appliance will reset

 

and attempt to acquire an IP address. Range 3–15. Default = 15.

 

 

IP address

IP Address of the VBrick.

 

 

Subnet Mask

Subnet mask for the VBrick address.

 

 

Gateway IP Address

Gateway IP Address for communicating across distinct network

 

segments.

 

 

Host Name

The Host Name defaults to the Media Access Control (MAC)

 

address, a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of

 

a network. The VBrick Host Name identifies the appliance to

 

various network applications including DHCP, SNMP and VBrick

 

application tools. The Host Name syntax can be a maximum of 18

 

characters, the first character must be a letter and the rest can be letters,

 

numbers or hyphens.

 

 

Network Interface

10Mbps, 100Mbps, or Automatic. This allows the Ethernet

Speed

interface of the VBrick to be manually forced to 10 or 100 Mbps.

 

Automatic is the default and recommended setting. Automatic

 

enables auto negotiation and the appliance will automatically

 

match its speed setting to the speed of the switch or hub to which

 

it is attached. Automatic can resolve up to 1GB depending on

 

your network.

 

The settings for Network Interface Speed and Network Interface

 

Type are interdependent. They must both be set to Automatic or

 

they must both be set manually. Manual settings should be used

 

only in the rare case when the appliance is attached to network

 

equipment that does not support auto negotiation. The VBrick's

 

capabilities will be limited when its Ethernet link is at 10 Mbps

 

and/or Half Duplex. If auto negotiation fails, the VBrick defaults

 

to 100 Mbps, Full Duplex, and attempts "parallel detection," an

 

alternative way to sense speed. Status parameters are available on

 

the network status screen to indicate the state of the link and the

 

current configuration of the Ethernet hardware. In auto mode,

 

they reflect the results of the negotiation and in manual mode

 

they follow the configuration options.
