FIGURE 2-3. ADVANCED IP SETTINGS
Parameter description:
Basic Setting
Mode: Configure whether the IP stack should act as a Host or a Router. In Host mode, IP traffic between interfaces will not be
routed. In Router mode, traffic is routed between all interfaces.
DNS Server: This setting controls the DNS name resolution done by the switch. There are four servers available for configuration,
and the index of the server presents the preference (less index has higher priority) in doing DNS name resolution. The following
modes are supported:
– No DNS server: No DNS server will be used.
– Configured IPv4: Explicitly provide the valid IPv4 unicast address of the DNS Server in dotted decimal notation. Make sure the
configured DNS server could be reachable (e.g. via PING) for activating DNS service.
– Configured IPv6: Explicitly provide the valid IPv6 unicast (except linklocal) address of the DNS Server. Make sure the configured
DNS server could be reachable (e.g. via PING6) for activating DNS service.
