Eaton Network Management Card User Manual page 51

BOOTP/DHCP: Authorises (choose "Enabled") configuration of network parameters with your BootP/DHCP
server when the card is booted.
Sequence with BootP/DHCP server: After each startup, the card makes 3 attempts to recover the network
parameters. If no response is received from the server, the card boots with the last saved parameters from the
previous start. These parameters are those shown on the page.
The default value for this parameter is "Enable"
Note 1:
If the hostname is not used, the IP address supplied by the DHCP server must be fixed to maintain connection
with the clients installed on the stations to be protected.
Note 2:
During the first connection, if the DHCP query is not successful, the NMC starts with the following IP
configuration:
Default IP address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway Address: 0.0.0.0
IP Address: The IPv4 address of the card.
Subnet Mask: The mask of the sub-network of your IPv4 network.
Gateway Address: Indicate the IP address of the gateway to access the stations located outside the card's
subnet.
Hostname must be suited to the card. This is the first part of the fully qualified domain name, used by the DNS.
As the card does not support NetBIOS protocol, the hostname will only be sent to DNS if the DHCP server sends
it the hostname with the new IP address. This mechanism is described in the update of the Dynamic DNS
protocol RFC 2136
Domain Name is the domain to which the card belongs. This is the part of the fully qualified domain name that
follows the hostname and is used by the DNS. The default value of the two parameters comprising the fully
qualified domain name: ups.domain.com
IPv6 Enabled: Authorises (choose "Enabled") IPv6 support.
IPv6 Auto Config Enabled: Authorises (choose "Enabled") the card to obtain configuration of IPv6 parameters
from an IPv6 router. In this case, none IPv6 parameters are editable.
IPv6 Address 1:
If Auto Config is enabled: this field displays the first IPv6 address built from the IPv6 router (not editable).
If Auto Config is not enabled: this field is editable and allows setting a static IPv6 address.
Prefix length:
If Auto Config is enabled: this field displays the prefix received from router (not editable).
If Auto Config is not enabled: this field is editable and allows setting a prefix.
IPv6 Gateway:
If Auto Config is enabled: this field is empty and not editable.
If Auto Config is not enabled, this field is editable and allows setting the default gateway.
