Label
Description
VLAN
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.
IPv4 DHCP 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. The DHCPv4 client will announce the configured System Name as
hostname to provide DNS lookup.
IPv4 DHCP Fallback
Timeout
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 fallback mechanism, such that DHCP will keep retrying until a valid
lease is obtained. Legal values are 0 to 4294967295 seconds.
IPv4 DHCP Current
Lease
For DHCP interfaces with an active lease, this column show 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 fallback address. The field may be
left blank if IPv4 operation on the interface is not desired - or no DHCP fallback
address is desired.
IPv4 Mask
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 fallback address network mask. The
field may be left blank if IPv4 operation on the interface is not desired - or no
DHCP fallback 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.
