Chapter 2: System Configuration

NOTE The second Ethernet port can be configured as either a Management LAN gateway port or as an
OOB/Failover port. Ensure you did not allocate NET2 as the Failover Interface when you
configured the principal Network connection on the System > IP menu.
To configure the Management LAN gateway:
1. Select the Management LAN Interface tab on the System > IP menu and uncheck Disable.
2. Configure the IP Address and Subnet Mask for the Management LAN. Leave the DNS fields blank.
3. Click Apply.
The management gateway function is enabled with default firewall and router rules configured so the
Management LAN is only accessible by SSH port forwarding. This ensures the remote and local
connections to Managed devices on the Management LAN are secure. The LAN ports can also be
configured in bridged or bonded mode or manually configured from the command line.
2.6.2 Configure the DHCP server
The DHCP server enables the automatic distribution of IP addresses to devices on the Management LAN
that are running DHCP clients. To enable the DHCP server:
1. Click System > DHCP Server.
2. On the Network Interface tab, Check Enable DHCP Server.
