guring the network
Con
fi
guring the network enables you to monitor, con
fi
gure, and control
most Autoloader functions from the remote management interface (RMI).
By default, the Autoloader will obtain an IP address from a DHCP
server. You can con
fi
gure the Autoloader to use a static IP address.
Once the Autoloader has an IP address, you can change the network
con
fi
guration from the OCP or RMI.
The Autoloader supports IPv4 and IPv6. By default, the Autoloader
is con
fi
gured to use IPv4, the most common current version. You can
enable IPv6 or both Internet Protocols from the OCP or RMI, and then
fi
nish con
