126 Using the CMC Web Interface
Table 5-14. IPv4 Settings
Setting Description
Enable IPv4 Allow the CMC to use the IPv4 protocol to communicate
on the network. Clearing this box does not prevent IPv6
networking from occurring. Default: Checked (enabled)
DHCP Enable Enables the CMC to request and obtain an IP address
from the IPv4 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server automatically. Default: Checked (enabled)
If this option is checked, the CMC retrieves
IPv4 configuration (IP Address, subnet mask,
and gateway) automatically from a DHCP server on
your network. The CMC will always have a unique
IP Address allotted over your network.
NOTE: When this feature is enabled, the Static IP Address,
Static Subnet Mask, and Static Gateway property fields
(located immediately following this option on the Network
Configuration page) are disabled, and any previously entered
values for these properties are ignored.
If this option is not checked, you must manually type the
Static IP Address, Static Subnet Mask, and Static
Gateway in the text fields immediately following this
option in the Network Configuration page.
Static IP Address Specifies the IPv4 address for the CMC NIC.
Static Subnet Mask Specifies the static IPv4 subnet mask for the CMC NIC.
Static Gateway Specifies the IPv4 gateway for the CMC NIC.
NOTE: The Static IP Address, Static Subnet Mask, and
Static Gateway fields are active only if DHCP Enable (the
property field preceding these fields) is disabled
(unchecked). In that case, you must manually type the Static
IP Address, Static Subnet Mask, and Static Gateway for the
CMC to use over the network.
NOTE: The Static IP Address, Static Subnet Mask, and
Static Gateway fields apply only to the chassis device. They
do not affect the other network-accessible components in
the chassis solution, such as the server network, local
access, I/O modules, and iKVM.
