Network Settings Interface
Step 2
On the
General Settings
interface, you can configure the following parameters: NIC Type,
IPv4 Address, IPv4 Gateway, MTU, DNS Server and Main NIC.
Multi-address Mode:
The parameters of the two NIC cards can be configured
independently. You can select LAN1 or LAN2 in the NIC type field for parameter settings.
You can select one NIC card as default route. And then the system is connecting with the
extranet and the data will be forwarded through the default route.
Net-fault Tolerance Mode:
The two NIC cards use the same IP address, and you can
select the Main NIC to LAN1 or LAN2. By this way, in case of one NIC card failure, the
device will automatically enable the other standby NIC card so as to ensure the normal
running of the whole system.
The valid value of MTU is from 500 to 1500.
If the DHCP server is available, you can check the checkbox of
Enable
DHCP
to
automatically obtain an IP address and other network settings from that server.
If DHCP is enabled, you can check the checkbox of
Enable DNS DHCP
or uncheck it and
edit the
Preferred DNS Server
and
Alternate DNS Server
.
Step 3
After having configured the general settings, click the
Apply
button to save the settings.
