IP Configuration

You can configure IP Configuration settings.

Configuring IP Configuration settings

NOTE

The server binds using IPv6 address by default if your Operating System is IPv6-enabled (dual mode

or IPv6 only). The server binds using IPv4 address by default if your Operating System is

IPv4-enabled. Servers running in dual mode allow the client to communicate from both IPv6 and

IPv4 addresses.

To configure the IP address used by the server for client-server communications, complete the

following steps.

1. Select SAN > Options.

The Options dialog box displays (Figure 38).

FIGURE 38 Options Dialog Box (IP Configuration option)

2. Select IP Configuration in the Category list to set the IP address.

3. Select the preferred IP address in the Switch - Server IP Configuration Preferred Address list.

If DNS is not configured for your network, do not select the ‘hostname’ option from either the

Return Address or Preferred Address list. Selecting the ‘hostname’ option prevents clients and

devices from communicating with the Server.

4. Click Apply or OK to save your work.
