Parameter Description
Network Configuration Click on view/debug current network setup
values here . Figure 4-7 appears (see the next
page).
Dynamic Host Configuration Select Enabled or Disabled from the drop-down
Protocol (DHCP) menu. This feature applies to the LAN port on
the rear panel and is Enabled by default. When
enabled, the unit will automatically configure
itself with an IP address when a DHCP server is
present. When disabled, the LAN port will use
the values assigned to it on the IP Addresses
and Routing table at the bottom of Figure 4-6.
IP Addresses and Routing This table allows you to assign IP information for
the LAN port. If you are using DHCP, the values
for the LAN port will be filled in automatically and
any changes made will not affect the setup.
Port: The port is automatically identified as LAN.
IP Address: Type in the IP address for the
ServSwitch.
Subnet Mask: Type in the subnet mask for the
ServSwitch.
Gateway (or 0.0.0.0 for none): Type in the
ServSwitch unit’s default gateway.
Broadcast (or leave blank): Type in the
broadcast address, or leave this field blank.
Domain Name Server This section allows you to specify DNS servers
and the default DNS domain suffix in use on the
network. If DHCP is enabled, some of these
values may be supplied automatically.
Commit Network Changes Click on the Commit button to apply any
changes made on the page to the configuration.
The new changes do not take effect until the
next time the unit restarts.
