CHAPTER 2: SYSTEM
FIGURE 2-2. THE IP SETTINGS
Parameter description:
IPv4 DHCP Client Enable: Enable the DHCP client by checking this box. If this option is enabled, the system will configure the IPv4
address and mask of the interface using the DHCP protocol. The DHCP client will announce the configured System Name as
hostname to provide DNS lookup.
IPv4 Address: The IPv4 address of the interface in dotted decimal notation. If DHCP is enabled, this field is not used. The field may
also be left blank if IPv4 operation on the interface is not desired.
Subnet Mask: User IP subnet mask of the entry.
Gateway: The IP address of the IP gateway. Valid format is dotted decimal notation or a valid IPv6 notation. Gateway and Network
must be of the same type.
DNS Server: This setting controls the DNS name resolution done by the switch. There are four servers available for configuration,
and the index of the server presents the preference (less index has higher priority) in doing DNS name resolution.The following
modes are supported:
– No DNS server: No DNS server will be used.
– Configured IPv4
– Explicitly provide the valid IPv4 unicast address of the DNS Server in dotted decimal notation.
– Make sure the configured DNS server could be reachable (e.g. via PING) for activating DNS service.
– Configured IPv6. Explicitly provide the valid IPv6 unicast (except linklocal) address of the DNS Server. Make sure the configured
DNS server could be reachable (e.g. via PING6) for activating DNS service.
– From any DHCPv4 interface: The first DNS server offered from a DHCPv4 lease to a DHCPv4-enabled interface will be used.
– From this DHCPv4 interface: Specify from which DHCPv4-enabled interface a provided DNS server should be preferred.
– From any DHCPv6 interface: The first DNS server offered from a DHCPv6 lease to a DHCPv6-enabled interface will be used.
– From this DHCPv6 interface: Specify from which DHCPv6-enabled interface a provided DNS server should be preferred.
