7.1.1 Configurable parameters in simple mode
The configurable parameters for physical network interface have two tabs in
simple mode: Interface and Static IP.
7.1.1.1 Interface
Device: Not editable. It displays the name of the network interface being
configured.
MAC address: Not editable. It shows the Media Access Control address of the
adapter's hardware. It is often useful to know this when configuring DHCP
servers: by binding an IP address to a particular MAC address, the DHCP
administrator can ensure that the device retains the same IP address across
reboots.
Description: Allows the operator to modify the description of this interface in
configuration dialogues and error messages. This is of limited value when
there is only a single interface but, for example, when a CMG-NAM has
multiple interfaces, it may be useful to rename them in order to reflect their
logical function rather than their physical position.
Enable interface: Enables the interface when checked. No other configuration
settings are changed when the interface is disabled, allowing use of the
interface to be suspended without deleting the configuration.
Startup enable: Controls whether the interface is enabled automatically when
the unit boots.
Enact on submit: Controls whether changes made using the rest of this form
take effect immediately or are only written to the configuration files. When
