IPv4 Settings
IP Address:
IPv4 is the traditional method of specifying IP addresses. The KVM
over IP switch can either have its IP address assigned dynamically
(DHCP), or it can be given a fixed IP address.
For dynamic IP address assignment, select the
Obtain IP address
automatically
radio button. (This is the default setting.)
To specify a fixed IP address, select the
Set IP address manually
radio button and fill in the fields with values appropriate for your
network.
Note:
1. If you choose
Obtain IP address automatically
, when the
switch starts up it waits to get its IP address from the DHCP
server. If it hasn’t obtained the address after one minute, it
automatically reverts to its factory default IP address
(192.168.0.60.)
2. If the switch is on a network that uses DHCP to assign
network addresses, and you need to ascertain its IP address,
see
, page 233, for information./
DNS Server
For automatic DNS Server address assignment, select the
Obtain
DNS Server address automatically
radio button.
To specify the DNS Server address manually, select the
Set DNS
server address manually
radio button, and fill in the addresses for
the Preferred and Alternate DNS servers with values appropriate
for your network.
Note:
Specifying the Alternate DNS Server address is optional.
