Specify this option to upload a configuration file and store it on NVRAM.
2.10.3 Setting up the network
The network interface serves as one of the methods to manage the
controller. There are two network types, static and DHCP.
To set up the network, do the following:
1. Select System Management > Network from the main menu.
2. (For the redundant-controller system only) From the Controller drop-
down menu, select the desired controller for the following network
settings to apply.
3. From the Assignment Method drop-down menu, select either static,
DHCP or DHCP+APIPA.
• If you select the static method, assign the IP address, network mask,
gateway, and DNS Server to the network.
• If you select the DHCP method, assign the DNS server address.
• If you select the DHCP+APIPA method, assign the DNS server
address.
4. Click Apply, and the settings are effective immediately.
Reset SMTP server
Select a server you want to clear the SMTP configurations from, and click
Reset.
Note
If DHCP is selected for the network, you need to close the GUI and
use the new IP for the connection.
Note
APIPA stands for Automatic Private IP Addressing. If DHCP+APIPA is
selected and the controller cannot get response from DHCP servers
on the network, the controller will choose an unused IP adress in the
private address space between 169.254.0.0 and 169.254.255.255
(address conflict is avoided by probing the network).
