IP Address Enter the static IP address to use for the interface. You may enter it alone or in
CIDR format.
Note: This setting will be used if Static IP is active (both DHCP and BOOTP
are Disabled). Changing this value requires you to reboot the device. When
DHCP or BOOTP is enabled, the PremierWave XN tries to obtain an IP address
from a DHCP or BOOTP server. If it cannot, the PremierWave XN generates
and uses an Auto IP address in the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx, with a network
mask of 255.255.0.0.
Default Gateway Enter the IP address of the router for this network.
Note: This setting will be used if Static IP is active (both DHCP and BOOTP
are Disabled).
Hostname Enter the hostname for the interface. It must begin with a letter or number,
continue with a sequence of letters, numbers, or hyphens, and end with a letter
or number.
Note: This setting will take effect immediately, but will not register the
hostname with a DNS server until the next reboot.
Domain Enter the domain name suffix for the interface.
Note: This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if
DHCP/BOOTP is active and no Domain Suffix was acquired from the server.
DHCP Client ID Enter the ID if the DHCP server requires a DHCP Client ID option. The DHCP
server’s lease table shows IP addresses and MAC addresses for devices. The
lease table shows the Client ID, in hexadecimal notation, instead of the
PremierWave XN MAC address.
Primary DNS Enter the IP address of the primary Domain Name Server.
Note: This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if
DHCP/BOOTP is active and no DNS server was acquired from the server.
Secondary DNS Enter the IP address of the secondary Domain Name Server.
Note: This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if
DHCP/BOOTP is active and no DNS server was acquired from the server.
MTU When DHCP is enabled, the MTU size is (usually) provided with the IP address.
When not provided by the DHCP server, or using a static configuration, this
value is used. The MTU size can be from 576 to 1500 bytes, the default being
1500 bytes.
