Ethernet Configuration Settings
Ethernet configuration settings:
■ Host name is an alphanumeric entry of one word up to 8 characters in length.
■ Ethernet Mode can be set to one of the following options:
— 10Mps Only
— 100Mps (half duplex) Only
— 100Mps (full duplex) Only
— 10/100Mps (Auto-Neg.)
■ IP address (default: 1.1.1.1) is the IP address of the router.
■ Subnet Mask (default: 255.255.255.0) is the IP subnet mask for the router.
■ IP Gateway (default: 0.0.0.0) is the IP address of the gateway for the Ethernet
network connected to the router.
■ DHCP enables or disables support for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
When DHCP is enabled, the router will request a dynamic IP address from a
DHCP server on the Ethernet network. The router must be rebooted before an
IP address will be requested from the DHCP server. After the router is
rebooted, the HTTP session will have to be restarted. The IP address will be
different from the former non-DHCP IP address.
Note: To use the DHCP feature, a DHCP server must be operational on the Ethernet
network. If the DHCP feature is used when there is not DHCP server, the standard for
DHCP requires the router wait thee minutes for a response from a DHCP server before
timing out.
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 via Telnet or VM. Because the
method of setting up a lease reservation varies, depending on the DHCP
server being used contact the Network Administrator for assistance.
