Interfaces Local Area Networks (LANs)
IX10 User Guide
149
These instructions assume that the LAN will use a static IP address for its IPv4
configuration.
a. Set the IPv4 address and subnet of the LAN interface. Use the format IPv4_
address/netmask, for example, 192.168.2.1/24.
(config network interface my_lan)> ipv4 address ip_address/netmask
(config network interface my_lan)>
b. Optional IPv4 configuration items:
i. Set the MTU:
(config network interface my_lan)> ipv4 mtu num
(config network interface my_lan)>
c. Enable the DHCP server:
(config network interface my_lan)> ipv4 dhcp_server enable true
See DHCP servers for information about configuring the DHCP server.
7. (Optional) Configure IPv6 settings:
a. Enable IPv6 support:
(config network interface my_lan)> ipv6 enable true
(config network interface my_lan)>
b. Set the IPv6 type to DHCP:
(config network interface my_lan)> ipv6 type dhcpv6
(config network interface my_lan)>
c. Generally, the default settings for IPv6 support are sufficient. You can view the default IPv6
settings by using the question mark (?):
(config network interface my_lan)> ipv6 ?
