Local Network

settings. By default, they are enabled. You can change the IP address and stay connected as the
appliance's original IP is kept as an alias IP until the first time you boot the appliance.
Tell me about the fields...
n
Enable switch on LAN ports - Aggregates all LAN ports to act as a switch with one IP address for the
switch. If this option is disabled (checkbox is cleared), the local network is defined as LAN1 only.
n
Network name - Enter the network name.
n
IP address - You can modify the IP address and maintain connectivity. The appliance's original IP is
kept as an alias IP to maintain connectivity until the wizard is completed.
n
Subnet mask - Enter the subnet mask.
n
DHCP server and range fields - DHCP is enabled by default with a default network range. Make sure
to set the appropriate range and do not include predefined static IPs in your network.
n
Exclusion range - Set the exclusion range for IP addresses that are not defined by the DHCP server.
Define the range of IP addresses that the DHCP excludes when IP addresses are assigned in the
network. The appliance's IP address is automatically excluded from the range. For example, if the
appliance IP is 1.1.1.1 the range also starts from 1.1.1.1, but excludes its own IP address.
