IPv4 Gateway: The gateway (default router) address is needed if com-
munication to the VersaSync is made outside of the local network. By
default, the gateway is disabled.
IPv6 Auto Configuration: Choose between Disabled (disable auto con-
figuration), Auto (stateless auto configuration using SLAAC and
DHCP), and Stateful (auto configuration using DHCP only).
Domain: This is the domain name to be associated with this port.
DNS Primary: This is the primary DNS address to be used for this port.
Depending on how your DHCP server is configured, this is set auto-
matically once DHCP is enabled. Alternatively, you may configure
your DHCP server to NOT use a DNS address. When DHCP is dis-
abled, DNS Primary is set manually, using the format "#.#.#.#" with no
leading zeroes or spaces, where each ‘#’ is a decimal integer from the
range [0,255].
DNS Secondary: This is the secondary DNS address to be used for
this port. Depending on how your DHCP server is configured, this is
set automatically once DHCP is enabled, or your DHCP server may be
configured NOT to set a DNS address. When DHCP is disabled, DNS
Secondary is set manually, using the format “#.#.#.#” with no leading
zeroes or spaces, where each ‘#’ is a decimal integer from the range
[0,255].
