Description
Specify whether to route the signaling and management
traffic through LAN1 and LAN2 interfaces separately.
This offers higher security for the signaling data.
Specify the system to obtain an IPv4 address automatically.
Note: Obtaining an IP Address Automatically is not
recommended. For best results, the system should be
configured with a static IP address.
Specify whether to use a static IPv4 address.
If selected, you need to specify the IP address and subnet
mask.
Specify whether to enable IPv6 related functions.
Specify whether to obtain the IPv6 address automatically
using Stateless Address Auto-configuration (SLAAC).
Note: Obtaining an IP Address Automatically is not
recommended. For best results, the system should be
configured with a static IP address.
Select this option to manually configure a static IPv6 address:
• Link Local Address: Specify an address for link local
communication.
Routers do not forward packets with link local addresses.
• Site Local Address: Specify an address for site local
communication.
Routers do not forward packets with site local addresses.
• Global Address: Specify one or several address for
communication with external IPv6 networks. Separate
several addresses with a comma (,).
Specify whether to enable DAD (Duplicate Address
Detection) to ensure the IPv6 address set to the system is
unique in the local network.
Specify whether to allow the system to respond to an ICMP
(Internet Control Message Protocol) echo request (Ping) sent
from other devices in the network.
In some high-security environments, you may need to disable
this option to protect the system from Ping attacks.
