IP Addressing Window Options (continued)
Description
Choose the method by which the IP camera obtains its IP address:
Dynamic—If your network includes a DHCP server for dynamic
•
allocation of IP addresses, choose this option if you want DHCP to
assign an IP address and subnet mask to the IP camera. Depending on
your router, the default gateway, primary DNS server, and secondary
DNS server may also be assigned. The DHCP server must be configured
to allocate static IP addresses based on MAC addresses so that the IP
camera always receives the same address.
Static—Choose this option if you want to manually enter an IP address,
•
subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server IP addresses for the
camera.
If you configured the IP camera for a static IP address, enter that IP address.
If you configured the IP camera for a static IP address, enter the subnet mask
for the IP camera. Use the same value that is configured for the PCs on your
network.
If you configured the IP camera for a static IP address, enter the gateway for
the IP camera. Use the same value that is configured for the PCs on your
network.
Optional. Enter the IP address of the primary the DNS server that is used in
your network. Use the same value that is used for the PCs on your LAN.
Typically, your ISP provides this address.
This address is required if you use a host name instead of an IP address in
any configuration field in the IP camera configuration windows.
Optional. Enter the IP address of a secondary (backup) DNS server to use if
the primary DNS server is unavailable. Enter the DNS server to be used if
the primary DNS server is unavailable.
This address is required if you have a secondary DNS server an you use a
host name instead of an IP address in any configuration field in the IP camera
configuration windows.
Maximum transmission unit size in bytes for packets that the network
transmits. Cisco recommends that you use the default value of 1500 unless
there are special requirements for your network. If you experience
operational issues after changing this value, set this value back to 1500.
If you change this value, restart the IP camera after saving the change.
Valid values are 600 through 1500. The value 1500.
