-
Static: A static IP configuration was manually entered through the NSS
configuration interface.
•
IP Address: The IP address for the physical or virtual interface.
•

Configuring the Network Link IP
You need to configure the method for assigning an IP configuration to each
interface connected to the NSS.
To set the IP address allocation method for an interface:
STEP 1
From the Manager Menu, click Network
IP.
The Network IP page appears listing each interface.
NOTE:
If you hotplug the Ethernet link after
the initial installation of the NSS, make sure you
wait 15 seconds between the time you unplug
the cable and then plug it back in. The NSS
displays the correct new settings within 10
seconds.
