iPv6 Network
Enable this option to permit IPv6 addressing format to
be used anytime you are required to enter an IP
address.
CAUTION!
Disabling this option will prevent you from using an
IPv6 IP address for system services.
IPv4 Configuration
Network Discovery
Choose one of the following methods by which to
assign the IP address:
Static—uses the IP configuration parameters
entered on the Network Properties dialog box.
BootP—acquires the IP configuration from a
BootP server. If no IP address is obtained, the
switch reverts to the previously configured IP
address.
RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Proto-
col)—acquires the IP address from a RARP
server. A RARP request is broadcast with up to
three retries, each at 5 second intervals. If no IP
address is obtained, the switch reverts to the previ-
ously configured IP address.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Proto-
col)—acquires the IP configuration from a DHCP
server. If no satisfactory lease is obtained, the
DHCP client attempts to use the previously config-
ured lease. If the previous lease cannot be used,
no IP address will be assigned to this switch in
order to avoid an IP address conflict.
