Network Settings: TCP/IP Setting for NICs
This is a page for configuring Multiple Gigabit ports for the EN104L+(B). The EN104L+(B) is equipped with 2 Gigabit ports. Additional Gigabit
ports can be added to increase performance. All of the Gigabit ports are configured in this page.
Assigned Port Pool is a list of the Network Ports assigned with settings. It can be DHCP, SFM or Static.
Port Pool is a list of the Network Ports where the settings have not been assigned and are available to use.
Configuring TCP/IP for the Gigabit Port
Select a desired Gigabit port from Port Pool or Assigned Port Pool.
Select DHCP, SFM and Static.
• DHCP setting allows EN104L+(B) to receive an IP address from the DHCP sever existing in the network. Normally DHCP IP
address is only used for temporary setting to easily configure on network. For continued use, static IP address is
recommended.
• SFM (Server Fail-over & Mirror) is a dedicated port(s) that is used to connect primary and secondary EN104L+(B) units
for heart-beat, data mirroring, and synchronization. This port can be used to transfer data to/from network attached clients,
but strongly not suggested to do so. A dedicated port for SFM is preferred. SFM required separate license and it is
currently only support in selected model.
Note: To configure SFM port, simply select the available port, click on SFM radio button and click on Apply. No TCP/IP
information is need for SFM port configuration.
• Static IP setting allows EN104L+(B) to manually set an IP address to fit the existing network setting. You will need to provide
a free, unique IP address, Net Mask (Subnet Mask), Broadcast and Default Gateway.
Select Apply to confirm the setting or Cancel to go back.
Configured port will be listed under Assigned Port Pool.
Note: Change or Assign the Network Port setting will required reboot before it take effective.
To remove a port from Assigned Port Pool to Port Pool
• Select a desired Gigabit port from Assigned Port Pool.
• Select Remove.
• Port will be listed under Port Pool.
The blink feature is provided to identify the physical port. The selected Network Port’s LED will start blinking to identify the physical port.
To exit without applying changes and return to the home page, click on Cancel.
Remarks: NIC Port #0 in the EN104L+(B) OS is labeled as NIC Port #1 on the Physical Hardware.
