PremierWave® XN Intelligent Gateway User Guide

BOOTP Client

Select to turn

Off

. At boot up, after the physical link is up, the PremierWave

XN device will attempt to obtain IPv4 settings from a BOOTP server.

Note:

Overrides the configured IPv4 address/mask, gateway, hostname, and

domain. When DHCP is

Enabled

, the system automatically uses DHCP,

regardless of whether BOOTP is

Enabled

. Changing this value requires you to

reboot the device.

DHCP Client

Select to turn

Off

. At boot up, after the physical link is up, the PremierWave

XN unit will attempt to obtain IPv4 settings from a DHCP server and will
periodically renew these settings with the server.

Note:

Overrides BOOTP, the configured IPv4 address/mask, gateway, hostname,

and domain. Changing this value requires you to reboot the device.

Note:

Within Web Manager, click

Renew

to renew the DHCP lease.

Priority

Priority ranges from 0-10.

Note:

Lower priority number means higher preference.

IP Address

Enter the static IPv4 address to use for the interface. You may enter it alone or in
CIDR format.

Note:

This setting will be used if Static IP is active (both DHCP and BOOTP are

Disabled). Changing this value requires you to reboot the device. When DHCP or
BOOTP is enabled, the PremierWaveXN device tries to obtain an IPv4 address
from a DHCP or BOOTP server. If it cannot, the PremierWave XN unit generates
and uses an Auto IP address in the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx, with a network mask
of 255.255.0.0.

Default Gateway

Enter the IPv4 address of the router for this network.

Note:

This setting will be used if Static IP is active (both DHCP and BOOTP are

Disabled

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.
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
PremierWave

intelligent gateway 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.
