3.7.7 Ethernet Configuration

Use to configure the Ethernet port of RAID subsystem.

3.7.7.1 DHCP Function

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows network administrators

centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP (Internet Protocol)

addresses on a computer network. When using the TCP/IP protocol (Internet

protocol), it is necessary for a computer to have a unique IP address in order to

communicate to other computer systems. Without DHCP, the IP address must

be entered manually at each computer system. DHCP lets a network

administrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point. The

purpose of DHCP is to provide the automatic (dynamic) allocation of IP client

configurations for a specific time period (called a lease period) and to minimize

the work necessary to administer a large IP network. To manually configure the

IP address of the RAID subsystem, press the UP/DOWN buttons to select

“Ethernet Configuration" function and press ENT. Using UP/DOWN buttons to

select DHCP, and then press ENT.

Select the “Disabled” or “Enabled” option to enable or disable the DHCP

function. If DHCP is disabled, it will be necessary to manually enter a static IP

address that does not conflict with other devices on the network.

3.7.7.2 Local IP Address

If you intend to set up your client computers manually (no DHCP), make sure

that the assigned IP address is in the same range as the default router address

and that it is unique to your private network. However, it is highly recommend to

use DHCP if that option is available on your network. An IP address allocation

scheme will reduce the time it takes to set-up client computers and eliminate the

possibilities of administrative errors and duplicate addresses. To manually

configure the IP address of the RAID subsystem, press the UP/DOWN buttons

to select “Ethernet Configuration” function and press ENT. Using UP/DOWN

buttons to select “Local IP Address”, and then press ENT. It will show the default

address setting in the RAID subsystem. You can then reassign the static IP

address of the RAID subsystem.

3.7.7.3 HTTP Port Number

To manually configure the “HTTP Port Number” of the RAID subsystem, press

UP/DOWN buttons to select “Ethernet Configuration" function and press ENT.

Using UP/DOWN buttons to select “HTTP Port Number”, and then press ENT. It

will show the default address setting in the RAID subsystem. Then you can

reassign the default “HTTP Port Number” of the controller.
