(config network interface my_wan)> ipv4 mgmt num
(config network interface my_wan)>
iv. Set the MTU:
(config network interface my_wan)> ipv4 mtu num
(config network interface my_wan)>
v. Configure how to use DNS:
(config network interface my_wan)> ipv4 use_dns value
(config network interface my_wan)>
where value is one of:
n
always: DNSwill always be used for this WAN; when multiple interfaces have
the same DNSserver, the interface with the lowest metric will be used for DNS
requests.
n
primary: Only use the DNSservers provided for thisinterface when the
interface is the primary route.
n
never: Never use DNSservers for this interface.
vi. Enable DHCPHostname to instruct the IX20 device to include the device's system
name with DHCPrequests as the Client FQDNoption. TheDHCPserver can then be
configured to register the device's hostname and IPaddresswith an associated DNS
server.
(config network interface my_wan)> ipv4 dhcp_hostname true
(config network interface my_wan)>
n
See RFC4702 for further information about DHCPserver support for the Client
FQDN option.
n
See Configure system information for information about setting the IX20
device's system name.
7. (Optional) Configure IPv6 settings:
a. Enable IPv6 support:
(config network interface my_wan)> ipv6 enable true
(config network interface my_wan)>
b. Set the IPv6 type to DHCP:
(config network interface my_wan)> ipv6 type dhcpv6
(config network interface my_wan)>
c. Generally, the default settingsfor IPv6 support are sufficient. You can view the default IPv6
settings by using the question mark (?):
(config network interface my_wan)> ipv6 ?
