Network

Basic TCP/IP Settings

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

must always be enabled.

IPv4 Address Conﬁguration

By default, the Axis product 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 p roduct by name (host name).

If DHCP is enabled and the product cannot be acce sse d, run AXIS IP Utility to search the network for connecte d Axis products , or reset

the product to the factory default settings (see page 40) and then perform the installation again.

To use a static IP addr ess, check Use the following IP address and specify the I P address, subnet mask and default router.

IPv6 Address Con ﬁguration

If IPv6 (IP version 6) is enable d, the Axis product will receive an IP address according to the conﬁguration in the network router.

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

ARP/Ping

The IP address can be set using ARP and Ping. For instructions, see the product’s Installation Guide.

ARP/Ping is enabled by default. To disable, uncheck the box under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic.

The ARP/ P ing service is automatically disabled two minutes after t he product is started, or as soon as an IP address is set. To reset the

IP address, the product must be restarted to activate ARP/Ping f or an additional two minutes.

Pinging the product is still possible when this service is disabled.
