Network
Basic TCP/IP Settings
The Axis product supports IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions can be enabled simultaneously, and at least one version
must always be enabled.
IPv4 Address Con
fi
guration
By default, the Axis product is set to use IPv4 (IP version 4) and to obtain the IP address automatically via DHCP. The IPv4 settings are
con
fi
gured under
System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic
.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Con
fi
guration Protocol) allows network administrators to centrally manage and automate the assignment of
IP addresses. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address noti
fi
cation, or if the DHCP can update a DNS server. It is
then possible to access the Axis product by name (host name).
If DHCP is enabled and the product cannot be accessed, run AXIS IP Utility to search the network for connected Axis products, or reset
the product to the factory default settings (see
page 50
) and then perform the installation again.
To use a static IP address, check
Use the following IP address
and specify the IP address, subnet mask and default router.
IPv6 Address Con
fi
guration
If IPv6 (IP version 6) is enabled, the Axis product will receive an IP address according to the con
fi
guration in the network router.
To enable IPv6, go to
System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic
. Other settings for IPv6 should be con
fi
gured in the network router.
ARP/Ping
The IP address can be set using ARP and Ping. For instructions, see the product’s Installation Guide.
ARP/Ping is enabled by default. To disable, uncheck the box under
System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic
.
The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two minutes after the product is started, or as soon as an IP address is set. To reset the
IP address, the product must be restarted to activate ARP/Ping for an additional two minutes.
Pinging the product is still possible when this service is disabled.
