126 Network Storage Router M2402 User Guide
Ethernet Configuration Menu options:
■ Change IP address (1) (default: 1.1.1.1) changes the router IP address.
■ Change IP Subnet Mask (2) (default: 255.255.255.0) changes the router
Subnet mask.
■ Change IP Gateway (3) (default: 0.0.0.0) changes the IP gateway for the
Ethernet network.
■ Change Ethernet Physical Address (4) changes the Ethernet physical
address (MAC address).
Caution: If this configuration setting is incorrectly set, processing difficulties
may occur. Before changing this setting, evaluate the need for the change
and verify the desired setting. HP recommends backing up the router
configuration to an external file before making changes to this setting.
The manufacturer always assigns Ethernet physical addresses to the Ethernet
adapters.
■ Toggle Ethernet Mode (5) changes the Ethernet mode. Options include:
— 10 Mb/s only
— 100 Mb/s (half duplex) only
— 100 Mb/s (full duplex) only
— 10/100 MPS (Auto-Neg.)
■ Change Hostname (6) changes the name of the host server.
The name can be any combination of alphanumeric characters, up to eight
characters.
■ Toggle DHCP Configuration (7) enables or disables support for Dynamic
Configuration Protocol.
When DHCP is enabled, the router will request a dynamic IP address from the
DHCP server on the Ethernet network.
Some DHCP servers allow a lease reservation to be set up for an IP address by
providing the server with the Ethernet MAC address. The DHCP server will
then always provide the same IP address to the router. This setup can be
useful for remote management of the router such as Telnet or Visual Manager
Because the method of setting up a lease reservation varies depending on the
DHCP server being used, contact your Network Administrator for assistance.
