Network Configuration
IPv4 Configuration / IPv6 Configuration
The CN8000 can either have its IPv4 or IPv6 address assigned dynamically at
boot-up (DHCP), or it can be given a fixed IP address. IPv6 is disabled by
default. To enable IPv6, check “Enable IPv6 Configuration”.
For dynamic IP address assignment, select the Obtain IP address
automatically [DHCP], radio button. (This is the default setting.)
To specify a fixed IP address, select the Set IP address manually [Fixed
IP], radio button and fill in the IP address.
Note: 1. If you choose Obtain IP address automatically, when the switch starts
up it waits to get its IP address from the DHCP server. If it hasn’t
obtained the address after one minute, it automatically reverts to its
factory default IP address (192.168.0.60.)
2. If the CN8000 is on a network that uses DHCP to assign network
addresses, and you need to ascertain its IP address, see IP Address
Determination, page 165, for information.
IPv4 DNS Server / IPv6 DNS Server
The CN8000 can either have its DNS server address assigned automatically, or
a fixed address can be specified.
For automatic DNS Server address assignment, select the Obtain DNS
server address automatically, radio button.
To specify a fixed address, select the Set DNS server address manually,
radio button and fill in the required information.
Note: Specifying an alternate DNS Server address is optional.
