Configure the Network Interfaces
You can configure the library's two local area network interfaces:
Network Port 1 — connects browser-based, remote user interface clients to the
■
interface server on the library.
Network Port 2 — a second network connection for service use or for library
■
managed encryption (LME) for OKM communication.
Before deciding on a configuration, review the
page 1-4 and consult with your network administrator. Support for IPv6 and local
addressing requirements can vary from site to site.

Configure Network Interfaces Task 1: Verify Job Activity and Launch the Wizard
Check the activity log for active jobs, such as tape moves or mounts. Never change

the network configuration during active jobs, if at all possible.
If any tape jobs are active, wait for them to complete before continuing. You may

want to take the library offline before configuring to prevent host activity.

Configure Network Interfaces Task 2: Configure Network Port 1
The library supports either both IPv6 and IPv4 (dual-stack mode) or IPv4-only
configuration. In dual-stack mode, the library continues to recognize IPv4 addresses
while adding the ability to use hexadecimal IPv6 addresses.
Enter the desired library name in the Host Name field.
1.
Valid host names contain characters in the ranges [A-Z], [a-z], and [0-9], plus the
hyphen (-). A hyphen cannot be the first or last character in the host name. Spaces
and underscores (_) are not supported.
From the "Configure Network for" drop-down list select either:

IPv4 only or IPv4 and IPv6
For IPv4 select either:

Static — You must enter the Address, Netmask, and Gateway. In most cases,
you will want to choose Static so that library interface clients can always find
the server at a stable, well-known network location.
DHCP — A DHCP server must be running on your network to use this
setting.
Static — You must enter the Address, Prefix Length, and Gateway. In general,
if your DNS (Domain Name Service) supports IPv6 addresses, select Static so
that library interface clients can always find the server at a stable, well-known
network location.
Stateless (SLAAC) — If DNS does not support IPv6 addresses, select Stateless
(SLAAC). With a stateless address, library interface clients can find the server
at an address based on the unique MAC (media access control) address of the
