management privileges for this interface.
c.
Configuration Server Protocol
: Choose
DHCP

or choose
Static IP
if you intend to enter IP addresses manually. If
you choose the Static IP option, you must enter the following
information:
z
IP Address
: Enter a valid IP address for this Array. To use
any of the remote connections (Web,
SNMP
, or
SSH
), a valid
IP address must be used.
z
IP Subnet Mask
: Enter a valid IP address for the
subnet
mask
(the default is 255.255.255.0). The subnet mask defines
the number of IP addresses that are available on the routed
subnet where the Array is located.
z
Default Gateway
: Enter a valid IP address for the
default
gateway
. This is the IP address of the router that the Array
uses to forward data to other networks.

SSID (Wireless Network Name)
: The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a
unique name that identifies a wireless network. All devices attempting to
connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. The default for this
field is “
xirrus
.”
For additional information about SSIDs, go to the
