CHAPTER 3: SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Parameter description:
IP Configuration
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 set for the switch. The following modes are supported:
- From any DHCP interfaces: The first DNS server offered from a DHCP lease to a DHCP-enabled interface will be used.
- No DNS server: No DNS server will be used.
- Configured: Explicitly provide the IP address of the DNS Server in dotted decimal notation.
- From this DHCP interface: Specify from which DHCP-enabled interface a provided DNS server should be preferred.
• DNS Proxy: When DNS proxy is enabled, the system will relay DNS requests to the currently configured DNS server, and reply as a DNS
resolver to the client devices on the network.
IP Interfaces
Delete: Select this option to delete an existing IP interface.
VLAN: The VLAN associated with the IP interface. Only ports in this VLAN will be able to access the IP interface. This field is only
available for input when creating an new interface.
IPv4 DHCP Enabled: Enable the DHCP client by checking this box. If this option is enabled, the system will configure the IPv4 address
and mask of the interface using the DHCP protocol. The DHCP client will announce the configured System Name as hostname to
provide DNS lookup.
IPv4 DHCP Fallback Timeout: The number of seconds the switch will try to obtain a DHCP lease. After this period expires, a configured
IPv4 address will be used as IPv4 interface address. A value of zero disables the fallback mechanism, so DHCP will keep retrying until
a valid lease is obtained. Legal values are 0 to 4294967295 seconds.
IPv4 DHCP Current Lease: For DHCP interfaces with an active lease, this column shows the current interface address, as provided by
the DHCP server.
IPv4 Address: The IPv4 address of the interface in dotted decimal notation. If DHCP is enabled, this field is not used. The field may
also be left blank if IPv4 operation on the interface is not desired.
IPv4 Mask: The IPv4 network mask, in number of bits (prefix length). Valid values are between 0 and 30 bits for a IPv4 address. If
DHCP is enabled, this field is not used. The field may also be left blank if IPv4 operation on the interface is not desired.
IPv6 Address: The IPv6 address of the interface. An IPv6 address is in 128-bit records represented as eight fields of up to four
hexadecimal digits with a colon separating each field (:). For example, fe80::215:c5ff:fe03:4dc7. The symbol :: is a special syntax that
can be used as a shorthand way of representing multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous zeros; but it can appear only once. It can also
represent a legally valid IPv4 address. For example, ::192.1.2.34.
The field may be left blank if IPv6 operation on the interface is not desired.
IPv6 Mask: The IPv6 network mask, in number of bits (prefix length). Valid values are between 1 and 128 bits for a IPv6 address. The
field may be left blank if IPv6 operation on the interface is not desired.
