b. (Optional) Enter the
Default Gateway IP
address.
Specifying a default gateway is optional if all access is local to a particular subnet. For example, if
the DXi6900 and all of its clients are on the same subnet, you do not need to specify a default
gateway.
Caution:
Specifying a default gateway is required to enable connectivity with all subnets
other than those that the DXi6900 is directly connected to. For example, if thDXi6900 and its
clients are on different subnets, you must specify a default gateway.

DNS Suffix Search List
box, enter the local domain to search first when

Primary
,
Secondary
, and
Tertiary
DNS IP Address
