IP Settings
:
l
Host name
: The host name that will appear the
DHCP Option 12
field. The host name can
be a single name or a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). You can use this optional setting
only when you enable DHCP.
Note
If you change the host name, you must sign in to the
again.
l
Enable Auto IP address assignment
: Auto Private IP Addressing (APIPA), also known as
Auto-IP: A standard protocol that automatically assigns an IP address from a reserved pool
of standard Auto-IP addresses to the computer on which it is installed. The device is set to
obtain its IP address automatically from a DHCP server. If the DHCP server is unavailable
or nonexistent, Auto-IP assigns the device an IP address if one of the following instances
are true:
o
You enabled DHCP or it responds later
o
You are using ADDP/Device Discovery
Both will override the previously assigned Auto-IP address.
l
Reuse old IP at bootup time on DHCP failure
: If the Digi device fails to receive an IP
address from the DHCP server on booting up, the users can set the IP configurations of the
Digi device with the previous IP configurations and connect it to the network.
n
Ethernet interface
: You can set the speed and duplex mode of each Ethernet interface.
l
Speed
: Specify the Ethernet speed of the Digi device. Your options are as follows:
Auto
,
10
Mbit
,
100 Mbps
, or
1000 Mbps
.
l
Mode
: Specify the duplex mode of the Ethernet interface. Your options are as follows:
Auto
,
Half-duplex
, or
Full-duplex
. Note that you cannot manually set the duplex mode if the
speed is set to
Auto
.
n
TCP keep-alive settings
: The DHCP server assigns these network settings, unless you
manually set them here.
l
Idle Timeout
: The period of time that a TCP connection can remain idle before sending a
keep-alive.
l
Probe Interval
: The time in seconds between each keep-alive probe.
l
Probe Count
: The number of times TCP probes the connection to determine if it is alive
after activating the keep-alive option. The connection is assumed to be lost after sending
this number of keep-alive probes.
IP filtering settings
Some Digi devices support built-in firewall functionality to limit TCP/IP traffic to and from certain
networks, TCP ports, and interfaces. The functionality implemented is based on the
iptables
tool.
You can restrict your Digi device on the network by only allowing certain devices or networks to
connect. This is better known as IP Filtering or Access Control Lists (ACL). By enabling IP filtering, you
are telling the Digi device to only accept connections from specific and known IP addresses or
