Advanced Configuration
Parameter Description
Address Type Specifies whether the Ethernet interface parameters are to be configured through
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or to be assigned statically.
By default, the address type is set to Static meaning which the user can manually
configure the network parameters. Select Dynamic to configure the device as a DHCP
client. If Dynamic is selected, the device obtains the IP parameters from a network DHCP
server automatically during the bootup. If you do not have a DHCP server or if you want to
manually configure the device’s IP settings, select Static.
: DHCP Client (IP Address Type Dynamic) is applicable in Bridge Mode, and is
applicable on wireless interface in Routing mode only when PPPoE is enabled .
IP Address Represents the IP address of the Ethernet interface.
When the address type is set to Static (default address type), the static IP address by
default is set to 169.254.128.132. When set to static, you can manually change the IP
address.
When the address type is set to Dynamic, this parameter is read-only and displays the
device IP address obtained from the DHCP server. The device will fallback to
169.254.128.132, if it cannot obtain the IP address from the DHCP server.
Subnet Mask Represents the subnet mask of the Ethernet interface.
When the address type is set to Static (default address type), the subnet mask by default is set to
255.255.255.0. When set to static, you can manually change the subnet mask.
When the address type is set to Dynamic, this parameter is read-only and displays the
device current subnet mask obtained from the DHCP server. The subnet mask will fallback
to 255.255.255.0, if the device cannot obtain the subnet mask from the DHCP server.
Default Gateway IP Address
IP Address Represents the gateway IP address of the device.
When the address type is set to Static (default address type), the gateway IP address by
default is set to 169.254.128.132. When set to static, you can manually change the
gateway IP address.
When the address type is set to Dynamic, this parameter is read-only and displays the
device’s current gateway IP address that is obtained from the DHCP server. The gateway IP
address will fallback to 169.254.128.132, if it cannot obtain the gateway IP address from a
DHCP server.
DNS
Primary IP Address Represents the IP address of the Primary DNS Server.
When the address type is set to Dynamic, this parameter is read-only and displays the
DNS Primary IP Address obtained from the DHCP server. If the address type is set to Static,
then you will have to manually enter the primary IP Address.
