IP Settings Web Page

6.2.1 Ethernet Interface

 DHCP Client

DHCP Client: Static (default) or Dynamic. When the unit is in Router mode, Static mode

allows the user to set the IP address of the unit. Dynamic mode will set the unit to be a

DHCP client, which will allow the unit to accept an IP address from an external DHCP server.

When the unit is configured for Bridge mode, the Dynamic option is disabled and the user

must enter in a specific IP Address.

NOTE: Activating this option will reset the IP address of the unit. If your network supports

the DHCP Server capability, make sure the IP address assigned by the DHCP server will be

accessible to you. If your network does not support DHCP server capability, the unit will be

reset to the default (192.168.205.1) IP address within the first 2 minutes.

To activate, select the "DHCP Client” radio button, click on the "Apply" button, click on the

"Save Config" button, and reboot the ViPR.

 IP Address

Set to a valid unique IP address for each individual unit (default: 192.168.205.1). In Bridge

mode, all the ViPRs must be configured for the same IP subnet. In Router mode, each ViPR

must be configured for a unique subnet.
