• MAC address—is the Ethernet physical address of the router.
CAUTION: If this configuration setting is incorrectly set, processing difficulties
may occur. Before changing this setting, evaluate the need for the change and
verify the desired setting. Compaq recommends backing up the router
configuration to an external file before making changes to this setting.
The Ethernet physical address is always assigned by the manufacturer.
• 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
(DHCP).
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.
