Defining System Information
Page 19
• Default Gateway — The IP address of a router for remote management of the device. The address must be
entered in the format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The default value is 0.0.0.0.
Note
Packets are forwarded to the default IP when frames are sent to a remote network via the default gateway.
The configured IP address must belong to the same subnet as one of the IP interfaces.
The DHCP Configuration section of the System General Page contains the following fields:
• DHCP — Indicates if the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is enabled.
– Enable — DHCP dynamically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing,
a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. If the DHCP client
software is activated, the device immediately begins to query the network for a DHCP server. The device
continues to query the network for its IP configuration until it receives a response. If the device and IP
address are manually assigned, that address is deleted and replaced by the IP address received from
the DHCP server.
– Disable — Disables DHCP on the device.
• Mac Address Aging Time — The time interval an inactive dynamic MAC address can remain in the MAC
address table before it is deleted. The default time is 300 seconds, and the range is 0-300.
