to save changes. Some changes to the following settings require a reboot for the
changes to take effect:
BOOTP Client
DHCP Client
IP Address
DHCP Client ID
Note:
If DHCP or BOOTP fails, AutoIP intervenes and assigns an address. A new
DHCP negotiation is attempted every 5 minutes to obtain a new IP address. When the
DHCP is enabled, any configured static IP address is ignored.
DHCP Client
Select
On
or
Off
. At boot up, the device will attempt to lease an IP address from a
DHCP server and maintain the lease at regular intervals.
Note:
Overrides BOOTP, the configured IP address, network mask, gateway,
hostname, and domain.
IP Address
Enter the device static IP address.
You may enter it alone, in CIDR format, or with an explicit mask.
The IP address consists of four octets separated by a period and is used if BOOTP
and DHCP are both set to
Off
. Changing this value requires you to reboot the
device.
Note:
When DHCP is enabled, the device tries to obtain an IP address from DHCP.
If it cannot, the device uses an AutoIP address in the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx.
Default Gateway
Enter the IP address of the router for this network. Or, clear the field (appears as
<None>
). This address is only used for static IP address configuration.
Hostname
Enter the device hostname. It must begin with a letter, continue with a sequence of
letters, numbers, and/or hyphens, and end with a letter or number.
Domain
Enter the device domain name.
DHCP Client ID
Enter the ID if the DHCP server uses a DHCP ID. 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 device MAC address.
Note:
"Binary" entry mode allows a mixed mode of text and special characters in
brackets For example, "abcd<ctrl>A" would be entered "abcd[0x01]".
Primary DNS
IP address of the primary name server. This entry is required if you choose to
configure DNS (Domain Name Server) servers.
Secondary DNS
IP address of the secondary name 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.
