Network Settings
The Network feature enables you to view and change the network configuration settings on your px12-
400r. You can use Network to identify your DNS servers and WINS servers and how your system's IP
address is determined. Most system IP addresses and other network settings can normally be configured
automatically.
If you want to change the default network settings for your px12-400r, refer to Manually Configuring
Network Settings.
You can also use the Network feature to configure the following features on your px12-400r.
Bonded NICs
If your px12-400r has multiple network interface cards (NICs), you can bond those NICs. Refer to Bonding
NICs.
VLAN
Each NIC in your px12-400r can be added to up to four Virtual LANs (VLAN). For information on adding a
NIC to a VLAN, refer to VLAN Settings.
Enabling Jumbo Frame Support
You can enable jumbo frames for each NIC in your px12-400r by expanding the Information section for a
NIC and entering a jumbo frame size in the Jumbo Frame field. If you do not want jumbo frame support,
leave the field blank. Jumbo frame support is useful for transferring large files, such as multimedia files,
over a network. Jumbo frame support increases transfer speed by placing large files in fewer data packets.
It also reduces the demand on the device hardware by having the CPU process more data in fewer data
packets.
Jumbo frame support should only be enabled if you are sure your network is jumbo-frame compatible and
all network devices have been configured to support jumbo frames. It is recommended that you confirm all
network interface cards (NICs) are configured to support jumbo frames before enabling this feature.
