162 Using the CMC Web Interface
DHCP Enable Enables 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, CMC retrieves
IPv4 configuration (IP Address, subnet mask,
and gateway) automatically from a DHCP server on
your network. CMC always has a unique IPAddress
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 Network Interface.
Static Subnet Mask Specifies the static IPv4 subnet mask for the CMC
Network Interface.
Static Gateway Specifies the IPv4 gateway for the CMC Network
Interface.
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
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.
