Configuring network settings
Use Configure Library > Network to set the network settings for the library.
Note: The Internet Protocol (IPv4, IPv6, or dual IPv4/IPv6) selection is used for the TL1000 Tape
Autoloader IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, time server address, mail server address, SNMP
trap address, and EKM server addresses.
Configure the network with the following settings:
v Link speed - Ethernet duplex mode (Auto, 10Base-T Full, 10Base-T Half, 100Base-TX Full, 100Base-TX
Half).
v TCP/IP settings - IPv4, IPv6, and dual stack IPv4/IPv6 are supported. To enable the dual IPv4/IPv6
protocol, select both Use IPv4 and Use IPv6 and enter parameters for both.
v Security - Select Enable SSL for Web to provide secure communications between the web browser and
the tape library.
v IPv4 setting - Select Use IPv4 to enable the IPv4 Internet Protocol. Select the corresponding button to
obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP) or use static IP address settings. When with DHCP, use the
Operator Panel to determine the library's assigned IP address. See “Current information” on page 53.
Enter the following parameters if with static IP address settings.
– IPv4 address - Sets the TCP/IPv4 address of the library on the network.
– Subnet mask - Defines and limits users within a local network.
– Gateway - Allows access outside the local network.
v IPv6 setting - Select Use IPv6 to enable the IPv6 Internet Protocol. Select the corresponding check
boxes to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP), to obtain an IP address with stateless auto
configuration, or use static IP address settings. Enter the following parameter if with static IP address
settings.
– IPv6 address - Sets the TCP/IPv6 address of the library on the network.
– Prefix Length - Decimal value 0 - 128 indicating the number of contiguous, high-order bits
comprising the network portion of the address.
– Gateway - Allows access outside the local network.
