failover IP)
Enables IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol on the
device for identifying shortest network path and
eliminating network loops (in redundantly designed
networks).
Activating STP enables the device to communicate with
other STP devices on the network by sending and
receiving Bridge Data Protocol Unit (BDPU) packets.
Specify the type of Ethernet port to which the device is
connected (10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, 1000BASE-T), or use
Auto automatically detect the Ethernet link mode.
If Static is chosen, the device will always use the IP
address that you have assigned.
If DHCP (Static IP failover) is chosen, the DHCP address
assigned by your DHCP server will be used. In case of loss
of communication with the DHCP server, the static IP
(or failover IP) that you manually assigned will be used.
Displays IP information in use currently (depending on IP
address mode and status of the DHCP server).
Use this section to assign a failover or static IP
information. The IP settings must be consistent with the
address space of the device's intended network segment.
