IP Address
Displays the IP address for this interface.
Netmask
Displays the subnet mask for this interface. See the description of IP Address
for a more information.
Default Router
Displays the IP address of the default router used by this interface. See the
description of IP Address for a more information.
Apply Changes
This causes changes to the IP configuration of the device to be made
permanent, reconfigures the stack to use the parameters, and optionally
restarts the stack using these parameters. Store And Apply will store changes
in non-volatile memory and reconfigure the stack to use those parameters.
Applying the new parameters may cause the device to reset. In this case there
will be a delay of a few seconds before the new configuration is adopted, which
will allow the SNMP response to the set request to be returned.
The correct procedure when changing IP configuration is to set all individual
parameters and then apply changes. If the device resets before a Store And
Apply is done, it will loose the changes.
Possible values are Not Applicable and Store And Apply.
Enable IPX
Displays whether IPX is enabled or not.
Possible values are Not Available, Enable, and Disable.
Name
Displays a short text name associated with an interface. Not all interface
types can be named. If an instance of this object does not exist for a particular
interface, then that interface cannot be named.
NOTE
This parameter can be changed to a new IP; however, changing this
parameter by itself has no effect on the IP stack configuration and this value
will not automatically be stored for the next restart.
The correct sequence is to make any changes, then Apply Changes. When
Apply Changes is set to 'apply', the IP stack will store the changes
permanently and will restart the stack.
