Network Properties Dialog Box-Ip Fields - HP StorageWorks 8/20q User Manual

NOTE: Switches without IPv6 addressing enabled can not communicate over Ethernet with hosts or
switches using the IPv6 addressing.
Table 10 describes the network IP configuration parameters.

Description
Enable this option to permit the IPv4 addressing format to be used anytime you are required
to enter an IP address.
CAUTION: Disabling this option prevents you from using an IPv4 IP address for system
services.
Enable this option to permit the IPv6 addressing format to be used anytime you are required
to enter an IP address.
CAUTION: Disabling this option prevents you from using an IPv6 IP address for system
services.
Choose one of the following methods for assigning the IP address:
• Static—Uses the IP configuration parameters entered in the Network Properties dialog
box.
• BootP—Acquires the IP configuration from a BootP server. If no IP address is obtained,
the switch reverts to the previously configured IP address.
• RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol)—Acquires the IP address from a RARP
server. A RARP request is broadcast with up to three retries, each at 5 second intervals.
If no IP address is obtained, the switch reverts to the previously configured IP address.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)—Acquires the IP configuration from a
DHCP server. If no satisfactory lease is obtained, the DHCP client attempts to use the
previously configured lease. If the previous lease cannot be used, no IP address is
assigned to this switch to avoid an IP address conflict.
Enter the Internet Protocol address for the Ethernet port. The default value is 10.0.0.1.
Enter the subnet mask address for the Ethernet port. The default value is 255.0.0.0.
Enter the IPv4 gateway address
Choose one of the following methods for assigning the IP address:
• Static—Uses the IP configuration parameters entered in the Network Properties dialog
box
• DHCPv6 (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 6)—Acquires the IP
configuration from a DHCP server. If no satisfactory lease is obtained, the DHCP client
attempts to use the previously configured lease. If the previous lease cannot be used, no
IP address is assigned to this switch to avoid an IP address conflict.
• NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol)—Part of the Stateless Address Auto configuration
protocol. It replaces the Address Resolution Protocol used with IPv4.
