Secondary DNS server address This is the IP address of your
secondary DNS server. A secondary DNS server can provide
redundant DNS service to your computers. If the primary DNS
server is turned off, then your Qube 2 can use the secondary
DNS server with no loss of performance.
Note: Your primary DNS server and secondary DNS server
cannot not be on the same server.
•
Default gateway This is the IP address of the network
gateway, such as your router or firewall. A gateway address is
required to connect to systems outside the local network. It may
be left empty if you do not wish to access outside networks. If
you are using a modem, the word modem is entered in this field.
•
IP forwarding If this feature is enabled, IP packets from one
network interface can be routed to another.
3. Modify the one or all of the interface settings.
•
IP address This is the IP address of the primary interface
which connects to your Intranet. This field must be filled in.
•
Subnet mask This is the subnet mask of the primary interface.
The normal subnet mask for a class C network is 255.255.255.0.
Yours may differ depending on the size of your network.
•
Network Address Translation (NAT) If this feature is
enabled, network traffic on the internal network (the primary
network interface) sent through the Qube 2 is masqueraded as if
it were coming from the external interface (the modem or
secondary network interface).
For more information, see "Network Address Translation
(NAT)" on page 84.
•
Media Access Control (MAC) address The MAC address is
the ethernet hardware address of the primary network interface.
This hardware address is unique to every ethernet device; it
cannot be changed.
