IBM Network Management Card User Manual page 49

Mode of card operation with server: After each startup, the network management
card makes five attempts to recover the network parameters. If it receives no
response from the server, the card starts with the last saved parameters from the
most recent start. These parameters are shown on the page. The default value
for this parameter is Enabled.
Notes:
1. If the host name is not used, the IP address that is supplied by the DHCP
server must be assigned through Static DHCP Assignment to maintain the
connection with the clients on the stations that are to be protected.
2. During the first connection, if the DHCP query is not successful, the network
management card starts with the following IP configuration:
IP address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway address: 0.0.0.0
v IP address: The IP address of the network management card (for example,
166.99.224.70).
v Subnet Mask: The mask of the subnetwork of the network (for example,
255.255.255.0).
v Gateway Address: The IP address of the gateway to access the stations that
are outside the network management card subnet (for example, 166.99.224.1).
v Hostname: The host name of the network management card. This is the first
part of the fully qualified domain name that is used by the Domain Name System
(DNS). Because the network management card does not support the NetBIOS
protocol, the host name is sent to the DNS only if the DHCP server sends the
host name with the new IP address. This mechanism is described in the update
of the DNS protocol RFC 2136.
v Domain Name: The domain to which the network management card belongs.
The domain name is the part of the fully qualified domain name that follows the
host name and is used by the DNS. The default fully qualified domain name is
ups.domain.com.
v IPv6 Enabled: Select this check box to enable Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)
features.
Note: IPv6 is described in the Internet standard RFC 2460.
v IPv6 Auto Config Enabled: Select this check box to have the network
management card or the IPv6 router (if an IPv6 router is available on the
network) automatically generate the following IPv6 parameters:
– Local IPv6 address
– Prefix length
The IPv6 Gateway field becomes unavailable and remains blank.
v IPv6 Address 1: If IPv6 Auto Config Enabled is selected, the first IPv6 address
is displayed.
If IPv6 Auto Config Enabled is not selected, the IPv6 address of the network
management card is entered in one of the following formats:
– [::1:0:0 ; 1FFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF] for a range of
prefixes [4-128]
– [2000:: ; FEFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF] for a prefix of 64
v Prefix length: The addressing prefix that is used to route external traffic for a
network.
If IPv6 Auto Config Enabled is selected, the IPv6 network prefix is displayed.
