Table 11 Network Properties dialog box—IP fields
Field Description
IPv4 Network Enable this option to permit the IPv4 addressing format to be used anytime
you are required to enter an IP address.
CAUTION: Disabling this option will prevent you from using an IPv4 IP
address for system services.
IPv6 Network Enable this option to permit the IPv6 addressing format to be used anytime
you are required to enter an IP address.
CAUTION: Disabling this option will prevent you from using an IPv6 IP
address for system services.
Network Discovery Choose one of the following methods for assigning the IP address:
• Static—Uses the IP configuration parameters entered in the Network
Properties dialog box.
• BootP—Acquires the IP configuration from a BootP server. If no IP address
is obtained, the switch reverts to the previously configured IP address.
• RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol)—Acquires the IP address from
a RARP server. A RARP request is broadcast with up to three retries, each
at 5 second intervals. If no IP address is obtained, the switch reverts to the
previously configured IP address.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)—Acquires the IP
configuration from a DHCP server. If no satisfactory lease is obtained, the
DHCP client attempts to use the previously configured lease. If the previous
lease cannot be used, no IP address will be assigned to this switch in
order to avoid an IP address conflict.
IP Address Enter the Internet Protocol address for the Ethernet port. The default value is
10.0.0.1.
Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask address for the Ethernet port. The default value is
255.0.0.0.

the DHCP client attempts to use the previously configured lease. If the
previous lease cannot be used, no IP address will be assigned to this
switch in order to avoid an IP address conflict.
• NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol)—Part of the Stateless Address Auto
configuration protocol. It replaces the Address Resolution Protocol used
with IPv4.
Config IPv6 Address Enter the IPv6 address for the Ethernet port
Gateway Enter the IPv6 gateway address
