Configuration: Network
Configuration: Network > Ethernet
Network DHCP Default - Enabled. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol –
(Enable, Disable). On Ethernet models, if DHCP is enabled, the
VBrick gets its IP Address and Subnet Mask from the DHCP
server. If the DHCP server supplies the Gateway Address or DNS
server address, these parameters will replace the user entered
Gateway and DNS settings. If DHCP is enabled and the VBrick
cannot obtain an IP address from the server, the VBrick will start
in limited run mode after two minutes, using its default IP Address
of
172.17.5.5 . After 15 minutes, it will automatically reset and
again attempt to acquire an address. The LCD screen on the front
of the VBrick will indicate a DHCP failed message. Note: The
VBrick appliance requires a minimum DHCP lease length of 8
minutes to work, however it is recommended to extend the lease
time to what is maximally available via the network to avoid
disruptions.
IP address IP Address of the VBrick.
Subnet Mask Subnet mask for the VBrick address.
Gateway IP Address Gateway IP Address for communicating across distinct network
segments.
