Basic TCP/IP Settings

The Axis product supports IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions can be enabled simultaneously, and at least one version

must always be enabled.

IPv4 Address Conﬁguration

By default, the Axis p roduct is set to use IPv4 (IP version 4) and to obtain the IP address automatically via DHCP. The IPv4 settings are

conﬁgured under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol) allows network administrators to centrally manage and automate the assignment of

IP addresses. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notiﬁcation, or if the DHCP can update a DNS server. It is

then possible to access the Axis product by name (host name).

If DHCP is enabled and the product cannot be accessed, run AXIS IP Utility to search the netwo rk for connected Axis products, or reset

the product to the factory default settings (see page 48) and then perform the installation again.

To use a static IP address, check Use the following IP address and specify the IP address, subnet mask a nd default router.

IPv6 Address Con ﬁguration

To enable IPv6, go to System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic. Other settings for IPv6 should be conﬁgured in the network router.
