VBrick Systems VB4000, VB6000, VB5000 manual Configuration Network Ethernet

Configuration: Network

Configuration: Network > Ethernet

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 VBrick
	cannot obtain an IP address from the server, the VBrick will start
	in limited run mode after two minutes, 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.
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.
