IP auto configuration
Choose between the 3 options.
None – no IP auto configuration. In this case type a static IP address in the
appropriate settings below.
DHCP - When selected, IP Extender will contact a DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server in the local sub-net to obtain a valid IP address,
gateway address and net mask. Before you connect IP Extender to your local sub-
net, complete the corresponding configuration of your DHCP server.
BOOTP - When selected, IP Extender will contact a BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)
server in the local sub-net to obtain a valid IP address, gateway address and net
mask.
IP address
Static IP address in the usual dot notation.
Subnet mask
The net mask of the local network.
Gateway IP address
In case the IP Extender should be accessible from networks other than the local one,
this IP address must be set to the local network router's IP address.
Primary DNS Server IP address
IP address of the primary Domain Name Server. This may be left empty, however IP
Extender won't be able to perform name resolution.
Secondary DNS Server IP address
This address will be used in case the Primary DNS Server can't be contacted.
Primary Time Server
IP address of the primary NTP (Network Time Protocol) compliant timeserver. IP
Extender will synchronize its own absolute time with the timeserver's one. This is
important for writing log entries and for the Dynamic DNS Service.
Secondary Time Server
This address will be used in case the Primary Time Server can't be contacted.
