Interaction Edge IPMI reference
Hostname
box
This control enables you to enter the assigned name of
the IPMI, if it has one. Normally, the IPMI is identified
through an IP address and not a host name.
Obtain an IP address
automatically (use DHCP)
option
This control enables you to select if the IPMI obtains an IP
address from a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP)
server.
Use the following IP address
option
This control enables you to select if the IPMI uses a static
IP address as specified in either the
IPv4 Setting
box or
the
IPv6 Setting
box.
IP Address
box
This control enables you to specify a static IPv4 address
for the IPMI network connection.
Subnet Mask
box
This control enables you to specify a network subdivision
to increase routing efficiency or ease of management.
Gateway
box
This control enables you to specify the IP address of the
device through which the IPMI can send communications
to another network.
DNS Server IP
box
This control enables you to specify the Domain Name
System (DNS) through which the IPMI submits hostnames
and receives an IP address for transmission of network
communications.
IPv6 Address
box
This control enables you to add an IPv6 address for the
IPMI network connection.
Add IP
option
This control enables you to add the entered IPv6 address
in the
IPv6 Address
box to the list of configured IP
addresses. To complete the process of adding this
address, you must select the
Save
button at the bottom
of the page.
Delete IP
option
This control enables you to remove the IPv6 address in
the
IPv6 Address
box from the configured address list.
To complete the process of removing this address, you
must select the
Save
button at the bottom of the page.
Auto Configuration
check box
This control enables Interaction Edge to obtain an IPv6
address on an IPv6 routed network.
DHCPv6 Stateless
option
This control enables Interaction Edge to obtain an IPv6
address and connect to the IPv6 networks, wireless
networks, and the Internet without a Dynamic Host
Control Protocol (DHCP) server. A stateless IPv6
connection enables devices that support IPv6 to create a
unique IPv6 address independent of any other network
device, proxy server, or DHCP server. This type of IPv6
addressing is intended for small networks and individual
devices.
DHCPv6 Stateful
option
This control enables Interaction Edge to obtain an IPv6
address through a DHCPv6 server in an IPv6 network.
This type of IPv6 addressing is intended for large
networks.
Address List
list box
This control contains the IPv6 addresses that have been
added manually.
DNS Server IP
box
This control enables you to specify the IP address of the
DNS server that translates hostnames to IPv6 addresses.
