146 Main Menu ■ MAC Address changes the Ethernet Physical Address of the bridge. MAC addresses are assigned to Ethernet adapters by the manufacturers. ■ IP Address changes the IP address of the bridge. The default for this setting is 1.1.1.1. ■ Subnet Mask changes the IP subnet mask for the bridge. The default for this setting is 255.255.255.0. ■ Hostname changes the hostname for the bridge. This is an alphanumeric entry of one word up to 8 characters long. ■ IP gateway changes the IP Gateway for the Ethernet network of the bridge. ■ Ethernet Mode selects from the following Ethernet options: 10Mps Only 100Mps (half duplex) Only 100Mps (full duplex) Only 10/100Mps (Auto-Neg.) ■ DHCP enables/disables DHCP on the bridge. When DHCP is enabled, this activates Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and allows the bridge to be assigned a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server located on the Ethernet network used by the bridge. Once DHCP is enabled, it is necessary to select the [Submit] button and then [reboot] the bridge before DHCP will operate. After the bridge finishes rebooting, the Main menu will appear. DHCP status can be verified by from the home page of the HTTP interface where DHCP Client is indicated as "Enabled" if DHCP has been successfully activated. Note that the IP Address will also appear different than the former non-DHCP IP Address. Note To use the DHCP feature, a DHCP server must be operational on the Ethernet network used by the bridge storage bridge. If the DHCP feature is used when there is no DHCP server, the standard for DHCP requires that the bridge wait three minutes for a response from a DHCP server before timing out. During this period, the bridge menus and functions will not be accessible. Your DHCP server may allow you to setup a lease reservation for an IP address by providing the server with the Ethernet MAC address of the bridge. This sets the DHCP server to always provide the same IP address to the bridge. This setup can be useful for remote management of the bridge via Telnet or the Chapter 6
