Definition
The Boot Method determines how the APEX1000 performs the bootup process
on the next reboot. When setting the APEX1000 to No BOOTP, this ensures that
the APEX1000 does not download a new configuration file or a new code image.
This drop-down menu provides two selections to set the boot method of the
APEX1000:
BOOTP Only – Use this setting during the initial configuration, or after making
configuration changes.
No BOOTP – To ensure that the internal configuration settings are preserved, use
this setting at all other times.
This is the 32 bit IP address of the router interface acting as a gateway to remote
or foreign networks. This address is normally provided during the BOOTP
process, but you can also change it after the APEX1000 successfully boots.
Read-only MAC addresses of ENET1 and ENET2. These addresses are also
provided on the serial number label on the bottom of the APEX1000.
The string length is 17 characters in the format '
where ' hh ' is a hexadecimal number.
Note: The addresses are set at the factory and cannot be changed.
Shows the APEX1000 ENET1 and ENET2 32-bit network addresses are in the
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
connection, and the ENET2 address is for a user-specified network connection.
Caution: ENET1 and ENET2 must be configured on separate networks.
Shows ENET1 and ENET2 32 bit subnet masks for their respective networks.
When masking is employed, it indicates the network address and host ID portion
of the IP address.
Shows the Ethernet speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps). This is determined by the
results of the auto-negotiation process.
The default is 100 Mbps.
Shows the Ethernet duplex mode (full or half), determined by the results of the
auto-negotiation process.
The default is Full.
This setting is predefined by the APEX1000, and it is not user-configurable. (The
APEX1000 Host Ethernet interfaces always perform auto negotiation upon
booting.)
This setting shows the number of input streams for each connection. This is the
number of input streams opened or assigned to this interface.
Enet 1 will typically always have one (1) input stream assigned. This is due to the
EAS default assignment, which opens one input stream on Enet 1.

format. The ENET1 address is for the OAM&P network
