EMG™ Edge Management Gateway User Guide 66
Network Settings
Note: Configurations with the same IP subnet on multiple interfaces (Ethernet or PPP)
are not currently supported.
Network Setting Description
Eth 1 Settings
Obtain from DHCP: Acquires IP address, subnet mask, hostname and gateway
from the DHCP server. (The DHCP server may not provide the hostname
gateway, depending on its setup.) This is the default setting. If you select this
option, skip to Gateway.
Obtain from BOOTP: Lets a network node request configuration information from
a BOOTP "server" node. If you select this option, skip to Gateway.
Specify: Lets you manually assign a static IP address, generally provided by the
system administrator.
IP Address
(if specifying)
Enter an IP address that is unique and valid on your network. There is no default.
Enter all IP addresses in dot-quad notation. Do not use leading zeros in the fields
for dot-quad numbers less than 100. For example, if your IP address is
172.19.201.28, do not enter 028 for the last segment octet.
Note: Currently, the EMG does not support configurations with the same IP subnet
on multiple interfaces (Ethernet or PPP).
Subnet Mask If specifying an IP address, enter the subnet mask for the network on which the EMG
unit resides. There is no default.
Default Gateway The IP address of the router for this network. There is no default.
Hostname
The default host name is emg
XXXX, where XXXX is the last 4 characters of the
hardware address of Ethernet Port 1. There is a 64-character limit (contiguous
characters, no spaces).
Note: The host name becomes the prompt in the command line interface.
Domain If desired, specify a domain name (for example, support.lantronix.com). The
domain name is used for host name resolution within the EMG. For example, if abcd
is specified for the SMTP server, and mydomain.com is specified for the domain, if
abcd cannot be resolved, the EMG unit attempts to resolve abcd.mydomain.com
for the SMTP server.
