Chapter 6 Provisioning
Provisioning the Ethernet Ports
Configuration - DHCP or Static
The SyncServer S6x0 supports static as well as dynamically allocated IP addresses
on the Ethernet ports LAN1 - LAN6. For a dynamically allocated address with the
DHCP setting, a connection to a DHCP server is required. In Static mode, the user
must configure the IP parameters (Host Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway
Address) for the Ethernet port.
Note: The LAN1 interface should not be configured with the same
address as any of the other Ethernet ports. If this is done, then network
access could be lost to the LAN1 management
interface.
All Ethernet Interfaces (LAN1, LAN2, LAN3, LAN4, LAN5, LAN6) must
be configured to be in different subnets/networks. If any two or more IP
interfaces have the same subnet, those interfaces will not function
properly.
Note: If using a gateway, then all IP interfaces should be configured
with the proper gateway IP address and subnet mask. If not using a
gateway, then configure the SyncServer S6x0 to not use a gateway by
setting the gateway address to 0.0.0.0. If a gateway address is
programmed on LAN1, then the gateway/router must be present and
reachable for the port to operate normally.
