Description
IF
The VLAN associated with the IP interface. Only ports in this VLAN will be able to
access the IP interface. This field is only available for input when creating a new
interface
DHCPv4 Enabled
Enable the DHCPv4 client by checking this box. If this option is enabled, the system
will configure the IPv4 address and mask of the interface using the DHCPv4 protocol.
DHCPv4 Client ID Type
This specified which of the three types below, i.e. IfMac, ASCII or HEX, shall be used
for the Client Identifier. See RFC-2132 section 9.14.
DHCPv4 Client ID ifMac
The interface name of DHCP client identifier. When DHCPv4 client is enabled and the
client identifier type is 'ifmac', the configured interface's hardware MAC address will
be used in the DHCP option 61 field.
DHCPv4 Client ID ASCII
The ASCII string of DHCP client identifier. When DHCPv4 client is enabled and the
client identifier type is 'ascii', the ASCII string will be used in the DHCP option 61
field.
DHCPv4 Client ID HEX
The hexadecimal string of DHCP client identifier. When DHCPv4 client is enabled and
the client identifier type 'hex', the hexadecimal value will be used in the DHCP option
61 field.
DHCPv4 Hostname
The hostname of DHCP client. If DHCPv4 client is enabled, the configured hostname
will be used in the DHCP option 12 field. When this value is empty string, the field use
the configured system name plus the latest three bytes of system MAC addresses as the
hostname.
DHCPv4 Fallback
The number of seconds for trying to obtain a DHCP lease. After this period expires, a
configured IPv4 address will be used as IPv4 interface address. A value of zero
disables the fall-back mechanism, such that DHCP will keep retrying until a valid lease
is obtained. Legal values are 0 to 4294967295 seconds.
DHCPv4 Current Lease
For DHCP interfaces with an active lease, this column shows the current interface
address, as provided by the DHCP server.
IPv4 Address
The IPv4 address of the interface in dotted decimal notation.
If DHCP is enabled, this field configures the fall-back address. The field may be left
blank if IPv4 operation on the interface is not desired - or no DHCP fall-back address
is desired.
IPv4 Mask Length
The IPv4 network mask, in number of bits (prefix length). Valid values are between 0
and 30 bits for an IPv4 address.
If DHCP is enabled, this field configures the fall-back address network mask. The field
may be left blank if IPv4 operation on the interface is not desired - or no DHCP fall-
back address is desired.
DHCPv6 Enable
Enable the DHCPv6 client by checking this box. If this option is enabled, the system
will configure the IPv6 address of the interface using the DHCPv6 protocol.
DHCPv6 Rapid Commit
Enable the DHCPv6 Rapid-Commit option by checking this box. If this option is
enabled, the DHCPv6 client terminates the waiting process as soon as a Reply message
with a Rapid Commit option is received.
This option is only manageable when DHCPv6 client is enabled.
DHCPv6 Current Lease
For DHCPv6 interface with an active lease, this column shows the interface address
provided by the DHCPv6 server.
IPv6 Address
The IPv6 address of the interface. An IPv6 address is in 128-bit records represented as
eight fields of up to four hexadecimal digits with a colon separating each field (:). For
example, fe80::215:c5ff:fe03:4dc7. The symbol :: is a special syntax that can be used
as a shorthand way of representing multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous zeros; but it
can appear only once.
System accepts the valid IPv6 unicast address only, except IPv4-Compatible address
and IPv4-Mapped address.
The field may be left blank if IPv6 operation on the interface is not desired.
IPv6 Mask Length
The IPv6 network mask, in number of bits (prefix length). Valid values are between 1
and 128 bits for an IPv6 address.
The field may be left blank if IPv6 operation on the interface is not desired.
The third part of IP Setting section is the

part as shown in Figure 2.9. Description of each field or option is
summarized in Table 2.4. Please click on the
