BOOTP Client
Select to turn
On
or
Off
. At boot up, after the physical link is up, the EDS-MD
device will attempt to obtain IPsettings from a BOOTP server.
Note:
Overrides the configured IPaddress/mask, gateway, hostname, and
domain. When DHCP is
Enabled
, the system automatically uses DHCP,
regardless of whether BOOTP is
Enabled
. Changing this value requires you to
reboot the device.
DHCP Client
Select to turn
On
or
Off
. At boot up, after the physical link is up, the EDS-MD 4/8/
16 unit will attempt to obtain IPsettings from a DHCP server and will periodically
renew these settings with the server.
Note:
Overrides BOOTP, the configured IP address/mask, gateway, hostname,
and domain. Changing this value requires you to reboot the device.
Note:
Within Web Manager, click
Renew
to renew the DHCP lease.
IP Address
Enter the static IP address to use for the interface. You may enter it alone or in
CIDR format.
Note:
This setting will be used if Static IP is active (both DHCP and BOOTP are
Disabled). Changing this value requires you to reboot the device. When DHCP or
BOOTP is enabled, the EDS-MD 4/8/16 device tries to obtain an IPaddress from a
DHCP or BOOTP server. If it cannot, the EDS-MD 4/8/16 unit generates and uses
an Auto IP address in the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx, with a network mask of
255.255.0.0.
Default Gateway
Enter the IP address of the router for this network.
Note:
This setting will be used if Static IP is active (both DHCP and BOOTP are
Disabled
).
Hostname
Enter the hostname for the interface. It must begin with a letter or number, continue
with a sequence of letters, numbers, or hyphens, and end with a letter or number.
This setting will take effect immediately, but will not register the hostname with a
DNS server until the next reboot
.
Domain
Enter the domain name suffix for the interface.
Note:
This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if
DHCP/BOOTP is active and no Domain Suffix was acquired from the server
.
DHCP Client ID
Enter the ID if the DHCP server requires a DHCP Client ID option. The DHCP
server’s lease table shows IP addresses and MAC addresses for devices. The
lease table shows the Client ID, in hexadecimal notation, instead of the EDS-MD 4/
8/16 device server MAC address.
Primary DNS
Enter the IP address of the primary Domain Name Server.
Note:
This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if
DHCP/BOOTP is active and no DNS server was acquired from the server.
Secondary DNS
Enter the IP address of the secondary Domain Name Server.
Note:
This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if
DHCP/BOOTP is active and no DNS server was acquired from the server.
MTU
When DHCP is enabled, the MTU size is (usually) provided with the IP address.
When not provided by the DHCP server, or using a static configuration, this value
is used. The MTU size can be from 576 to 1500 bytes, the default being 1500
bytes.
