Configuration Options
The Network Configuration Menus:
The Network Configuration menus allow you to define both IPv4 parameters and IPv6
parameters for the Ethernet Port. Although there are slight differences in the manner
in which the Web Interface and Text Interface Network are organized, both interfaces
provide access to essentially the same set of network parameters (with a few noted
exceptions.)
Since the network configuration menus must allow definition of network parameters for
two different IP protocols, parameters have been divided into two different submenus.
These submenus are accessed via the Network Selection menu.
To access the Network Selection menu, proceed as follows:
•
Text Interface:
Type
/N*
and then press
[Enter]
to display the Network Selection menu. At the
Network Selection menu, key in the number for the desired protocol and then
press
[Enter]
.
•
Web Browser Interface:
Click on the Network Configuration link on the left hand
side of the screen to display the Network Selection menu. When the Network
Selection menu appears, click on the desired protocol. Alternately, the Network
Configuration link's flyout menus can also be used to select the desired protocol.
The Network Selection menu offers access to two Network Configuration submenus:
•
Port Eth0, IPv4 Protocol
(Plus Shared Parameters)
•
Port Eth0, IPv6 Protocol
Note that the VMR/NPS's Network Configuration Menus are used to define parameters
that are shared by all VMR/NPS both IP protocols, plus parameters that are specific to
only one IP protocol. Since the majority of these shared parameters are concentrated in
the Eth0/IPv4 submenu, it is recommended that when defining network parameters, to
first define the parameters found in the Shared (Eth0, IPv4,) submenu, and then proceed
to the submenu for IPv6 protocol.
