4.2.2 Step 2 Uplink Connection and Management VLAN
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) allows you to group ports into multiple independent logical
networks.
Use this screen to configure the IP address of port 1 (ge1) for Internet access and configure vlan0, the
default management VLAN interface. The default members of vlan0 are ports 2-6 (ge2-6), and it uses
VLAN ID 1 by default. You can’t change the members in the Wizard.
• Uplink Connection: Select Auto (DHCP) if the NXC is connected to a router with the DHCP server
enabled. You then need to check the router for the IP address assigned to the NXC in order to access
the NXC’s web configurator again.
Otherwise, select Static IP when the NXC is NOT connected to a router or you want to assign it a fixed
IP address. You will need to manually enter:
• the NXC’s IP address and subnet mask.
• the IP address of the router that helps forward traffic.
• a DNS server's IP address. The Domain Name System (DNS) maps a domain name to an IP address
and vice versa.
• Untagged VLAN ID: This shows the ID number of the default management VLAN interface.
• IP Address & Subnet Mask: Configure the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway manually.
• DHCP: Select DHCP Server if you want the NXC to assign IP addresses to the connected devices.
Select DHCP Relay if you want a DHCP server to do so.
