Hostname
Default Gateway
Quantum DXi6900 User's Guide
The hostname of the DXi6900.
The Hostname cannot be blank and must contain only letters
[ A–Z, a–z ], numbers [ 0–9 ], and hyphens [ - ].
The default gateway IP address.
Specifying a default gateway is optional if all access is local to a particular
subnet. For example, if the DXi6900 and all of its clients are on the same
subnet, you do not need to specify a default gateway.
Caution: Specifying a default gateway is required to enable
connectivity with all subnets other than those that the DXi6900 is
directly connected to. For example, if the DXi6900 and its clients are
on different subnets, or you are using an external NTP server, you
must specify a default gateway.
