• Renewal Time, T1 (option 58): The time that the Management Card must wait after
an IP address lease is assigned before it can request a renewal of that lease.
• Rebinding Time, T2 (option 59): The time that the Management Card must wait after
an IP address lease is assigned before it can seek to rebind that lease.
Other options. The Management Card also uses these options within a valid DHCP
response. All of these options except the last are described in RFC2132.
• Network Time Protocol Servers (option 42): Up to two NTP servers (primary and
secondary) that the Management Card can use.
• Time Offset (option 2): The offset of the Management Card's subnet, in seconds,
from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
• Domain Name Server (option 6): Up to two Domain Name System (DNS) servers
(primary and secondary) that the Management Card can use.
• Host Name (option 12): The host name that the Management Card will use (32-
character maximum length).
• Domain Name (option 15): The domain name that the Management Card will use
(64-character maximum length).
• Boot File Name (from the file field of the DHCP response, described in RFC2131):
The fully qualified directory-path to an user configuration file (.ini file) to download.
The siaddr field of the DHCP response specifies the IP address of the server from
which the Management Card will download the .ini file. After the download, the
Management Card uses the .ini file as a boot file to reconfigure its settings.
Port Speed (Administration>Network>Port Speed)
The Port Speed setting defines the communication speed of the TCP/IP port.
•For Auto-negotiation (the default), Ethernet devices negotiate to transmit at the
highest possible speed, but if the supported speeds of two devices are unmatched,
the slower speed is used.
• Alternatively, you can choose 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, each with the option of half-
duplex (communication in only one direction at a time) or full-duplex (communication
in both directions on the same channel simultaneously).
