Start-up
3�1 IP assignment via DHCP
In network environments with DHCP support and a dynamic
address pool, the Microwall automatically receives the follo-
wing basic IP parameters via the
Network 1 port.
•
IP address
•
Subnet mask
•
Gateway address
•
DNS server
The additional parameters required for the initial commissio-
ning are set with the help of a browser after the IP assignment
via the initial web page. For more information, refer to the
chapter
Initial Web Page .
i When the interface Network 1 is connected to the network,
the initial web page for assigning the system password
is accessible via the default IP or the IP address assigned via
WuTility or DHCP. Make sure that no unauthorized access to
the Microwall occurs until the password is assigned on the in-
itial web page (e.g. by commissioning with a direct connection
to the respective PC).
i For operational use of the Microwall, we recommend ope-
ration with a static IP address. Especially in the Standard
Router mode, a change of IP address by the DHCP server
otherwise requires an adjustment of all static routes in the
hosts communicating via the Microwall. For more information,
refer to the chapter
Standard Router Mode .
