To configure static IPv4/IPv6:
1. IPv4/IPv6 Address/Gateway: Provide the address for these fields in either IPv4 or IPv6 format.
2. IPv4 Subnet Mask: If IPv4 is used, supply the IP address for the subnet mask in IPv4 format.
3. Primary/Secondary DNS: Provide the IP address for the primary and secondary DNS hostnames.
To configure DHCP settings:
1. DHCP: Check (or uncheck) Enable to enable/disable DHCP support.
2. FQDN: Provide the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) name and check Enable.
3. Boot Delay:Check (or uncheck) the Enable checkbox to enable/disable the Boot Delay option with the
following results:
• Enable: The Boot Delay option gives the PRO2 approximately 100-seconds to establish a connection
through a DHCP server. The interval allows various network component activities to occur as the
PRO2 powers up (such as obtaining SNTP time stamps for logging).
• Disable: (Default) The Boot Delay option forces the PRO2 to boot after approximately 5-seconds
regardless of the DHCP acquisition state. This speeds up a boot when a DHCP server is connected
to one of the outlets in the PRO2. In this configuration, SNMP traps, SNTP, and other protocols will
not be available until a DHCP address has been resolved.
Notes:
• The Boot Delay option executes only when DHCP is enabled.
• The firmware can detect network link integrity and will wait for network connection. This means that if
the network is not currently connected, the enabled Boot Delay option will be ignored.
4. Static Address Fallback:Check (or uncheck) the Enable checkbox to enable/disable the Static Address
Fallback option with the following results:
• Enable: The Static Address Fallback option informs the PRO2 to automatically fall back to a static
address if a DHCP server does not respond after 90-seconds.
• Disable: (Default) The Static Address Fallback option generates DHCP server requests until the
PRO2 obtains a dynamic address.
Notes:
• The Static Address Fallback option executes only when DHCP is enabled.
• If the DHCP server boot time is excessive, you may need to disable the DHCP Static Address
Fallback option.
• The DHCP Static Address Failback option does not apply when WLAN is enabled.
