Hostname
Enter the hostname for the interface. It must begin with a letter or number,
continue with a sequence of letters, numbers, or hyphens, and end with a letter
or number.
Note:
This setting will take effect immediately, but will not register the
hostname with a DNS server until the next reboot.
Domain
Enter the domain name suffix for the interface.
Note:
This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if
DHCP/BOOTP is active and no Domain Suffix was acquired from the server.
DHCP Client ID
Enter the ID if the DHCP server requires a DHCP Client ID option. The DHCP
server’s lease table shows IP addresses and MAC addresses for devices. The
lease table shows the Client ID, in hexadecimal notation, instead of the EDS-
MD MAC address.
Primary DNS
Enter the IP address of the primary Domain Name Server.
Note:
This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if
DHCP/BOOTP is active and no DNS server was acquired from the server.
Secondary DNS
Enter the IP address of the secondary Domain Name Server.
Note:
This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if
DHCP/BOOTP is active and no DNS server was acquired from the server.
MTU
When DHCP is enabled, the MTU size is (usually) provided with the IP address.
When not provided by the DHCP server, or using a static configuration, this
value is used. The MTU size can be from 576 to 1500 bytes, the default being
1500 bytes.
