SLB™ Branch Office Manager User Guide 49
Eth 1 and/or Eth 2
Settings
Disabled: If selected, disables the network port. Defaults
are Eth1 and Eth2 enabled.
Obtain from DHCP: Acquires IP address, subnet mask,
hostname and gateway from the DHCP server. (The DHCP
server may not provide the hostname gateway, depending
on its setup.) This is the default setting. If you select this
option, skip to Gateway.
Obtain from BOOTP: Lets a network node request
configuration information from a BOOTP "server" node. If
you select this option, skip to Gateway.
Specify: Lets you manually assign a static IP address,
generally provided by the system administrator.
IP Address (if
specifying)
Enter an IP address that will be unique and valid on your
network. There is no default.
Enter all IP addresses in dot-quad notation. Do not use
leading zeros in the fields for dot-quad numbers less than
100. For example, if your IP address is 172.19.201.28, do
not enter 028 for the last segment.
Note: Currently, the SLB branch office manager does not
support configurations with the same IP subnet on multiple
interfaces (Ethernet or PPP).
Subnet Mask
If specifying an IP address, enter the network segment on
which the SLB device resides. There is no default.
Eth 1 and/or Eth2
IPv6 Address
Address of the port in IPv6 format.
Note: The SLB branch office manager supports IPv6
connections for a limited set of services: the web, SSH,
and Telnet.
IPv6 addresses are written as 8 sets of 4-digit hexadecimal
numbers separated by colons. There are several rules for
modifying the address. For example,
1234:0BCD:1D67:0000:0000:8375:BADD:0057 may be
shortened to 1234:BCD:1D67::8375:BADD:57.
Eth 1 and/or Eth2
Mode
Select the direction (full duplex or half-duplex) and speed
(10 or 100Mbit) of data transmission. The default is Auto,
which allows the Ethernet port to auto-negotiate the speed
and duplex with the hardware endpoint to which it is
connected.
Eth 1 and/or Eth2
Multicast
Displays the multicast address of the Ethernet port.
