Parameter Description
Network
Mode
Single NIC: The NICs operate separately. You can use the services such
as HTTP and RTSP via each NIC. Usually you need to set a default card
(default setting is Ethernet Port 1) to request the auto network service from
the device-end such as DHCP, email and FTP. In network status detection,
system shows offline once one card is offline.
Fault tolerance: In this mode, the Device uses bond 0 to communicate with
external devices. You can focus on one host IP address. At the same time,
you need to set one master card. Usually there is only one running card
(master card). System can enable the alternate card when the master card
is in malfunction. System shows offline when both these two cards are
offline. The bound cards shall be in the same LAN.
Load balance: In this mode, the Device uses bond 0 to communicate with
external devices. All NICs are working and bearing the network load. Their
network load are general the same. System shows offline when all NICs
are offline. The bound cards shall be in the same LAN.
NOTE
Different models have different NIC numbers. See the actual situation.
NIC
Member
Select the check box to select the NIC to bind. The binding comes into effect
only after device reboot.
NOTE
In fault-tolerance and load-balancing mode, binding network cards is
supported, and the card number shall be no less than 2. Ports of different
materials (such as optical port and electrical port) cannot be bound to each
other
IP Version
You can select IPv4 or IPv6. Both types are supported currently.
MAC
Address
Display the MAC address.
IP Address
Enter the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway you want to set.
NOTE
The Device validates all IPv6 addresses. Default gateway and IP address shall
be in the same network segment.
DHCP
Obtain IP automatically. When DHCP is enabled, IP address, sebnet mask and
default gateway cannot be entered.
If the DHCP is effective, the system displays the obtained IP address /
subnet mask / gateway. Otherwise, it displays 0.
If you want to view the current IP, when DHCP is not in effect, you can
close DHCP and system displays the original IP info. If DHCP is in effect,
system cannot display the original IP info even after you close DHCP. You
need to reset the IP parameters.
When PPPoE dialing is enabled, IP address, subnet mask, default
gateway and DHCP cannot be changed.
MTU
It is to set MTU value of the NIC. The value ranges from 1280-7200 bytes. The
default setup is 1500 bytes. Please note MTU modification might result in NIC
reboot and network becomes off. When saving the MTU modification, system
