Table 4-5. Network Properties — IP Configuration
Parameter Description
Enable this option to permit IPv6 addressing format to
be used anytime you are required to enter an IP
address.
CAUTION!
Disabling this option will prevent you from using an
IPv6 IP address for system services.
IPv4 Configuration
Choose one of the following methods by which to
assign the IP address:
—
Static uses the IP configuration parameters
entered in the Network Properties dialog.
—
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 pre-
viously 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 con-
figured lease. If the previous lease cannot be
used, no IP address will be assigned to this
switch in order to avoid an IP address conflict.
Internet Protocol (IP) address for the Ethernet port.
The default value is 10.0.0.1.
Subnet mask address for the Ethernet port. The
default value is 255.0.0.0.
