Ip Host Configuration - LOYTEC L-IP User Manuals

L-IP User Manual
To disable a separate IP interface, choose Disable in the port mode setting. This change is
effective immediately without a reboot. To configure switch mode again, choose Switch
Ethernet 1+2 in the port mode setting.

6.2.6 IP Host Configuration

The L-IP models, which provide a built-in Ethernet switch/hub possess a separate IP Host
tab for editing all common host settings as shown in Figure 57. These settings affect all IP
interfaces on the entire device. On models with a single Ethernet port, the IP Host settings
appear directly on the Ethernet tab.
Hostname and Domainname are optional entries and can be left empty. For some DHCP
configurations it may be necessary to enter a hostname. Please contact your system
administrator on how to configure DHCP to acquire an IP address.
If the device possesses more than one IP interface the Default Gateway setting defines the
gateway of a given IP interface, which is going to route all non-local network traffic. One of
the existing IP interfaces with a separate network must be selected here.
Up to three DNS Servers can be defined on this page. These DNS servers will be contacted
by all services on any of the IP interfaces for name resolution. In case the DNS servers are
supplied by DHCP running one of the IP interfaces, change the setting Use DNS servers
from to point to that interface.
The device can be configured to synchronize its clock with NTP time. Enter the IP address
of a primary and, optionally, a secondary NTP server. The device will use NTP as a time
source if the time sync source in the system configuration page is set to NTP (see Section
6.2.1). The field NTP status below the NTP server settings displays the current NTP
synchronization status (out-of-sync, or in-sync). The settings made here apply to all IP
interfaces. In case the NTP servers are supplied by DHCP running one of the IP interfaces,
change the setting Use NTP servers from to point to that interface.
The Connection Keep Alive feature allows the device to automatically ping other devices
on the IP network in order to maintain an IP connection that might be automatically
disconnected after a specific period of time (e.g. DSL routers automatically disconnect if no
activity is detected). When enabled choose one of the options Auto IP or Custom IP.
