TCP/IPv4

You can set IPv4 settings.

  • IP Setting: You can choose the method for allocating IP addresses.

    • Static: Select to enter IP address/Subnet Mask/ Gateway Address manually.

    • BOOTP: IP address/Subnet Mask/ Gateway Address are automatically allocated by the BOOTP Server.

    • DHCP: IP address/Subnet Mask/ Gateway Address are automatically allocated by the DHCP Server.

  • DNS Configuration:  You can configure the DNS server.

    • Host Name: Enter the host name. You can enter up to 63 characters. Default name is “SEC[MAC address]”.

    • Domain Name: Enter the domain name. You can enter up to 128 characters.

    • Primary DNS Server: Enter the address of the DNS server you want to use primarily.

    • Secondary DNS Server: Enter the address of the DNS server you want to use as an alternative.

    • Dynamic DNS Registration: If you want to use, check the checkbox(es) of dynamic DNS registration. If this option is checked, the machine registers its host name and domain name to configured DNS servers dynamically. Also, if this option is checked and DHCP is selected, DHCP FQDN options are automatically disabled.

  • WINS: You can configure the WINS server. WINS is used in the Windows operating system. Select this option.

  • Display IP Address: You can set the machine to display the IP address on the Notification Bar. If you select this option the IP address will show on the Notification Bar.

TCP/IPv6

You can set the IPv6 settings.

  • Protocol: Tap to use IPv6 protocol in the system. Reboot the machine to apply the change.

  • IPv6 Address: Shows the IPv6 address types.

    • Link-local Address: This is an IPv6 address starting with a prefix value FE80. This address has local link scope and is automatically generated.

    • Stateless Address: This is an IPv6 address which is formed by router advertised prefix and interface identifier. On a interface like Ethernet, interface identifier is usually derived from the Mac address of the machine. The advertised prefix depends on the router configurations.

      [Note]

      More than one address may be configured for the router advertisement, but only one will be displayed in the display screen.

    • Stateful Address: This is an IPv6 address which is acquired by a DHCPv6 server.

    • Manual Address: This is an IPv6 address which an administrator can configure manually.

  • DHCPv6 Configuration: Select the DHCPv6 configuration you want to us.

    • Use DHCP as directed by a router: DHCPv6 is enabled when a router advertises to use DHCPv6.

    • Always Enable DHCP: Regardless of router advertisement, use DHCPv6 to acquire an IPv6 address.

    • Never use DHCP: Disables DHCPv6.

  • DHCP Unique Identifier: Show the DHCP Unique ldentifier.

  • DHCP Identity Association Identifier: Show the DHCP Identity Association Identifier.

802.1x

You can enable 802.1x authentication, which is a port-based authentication. If this authentication is enabled, the machine is not allowed to access through the protected side of the network until the machine is authorized. Use this feature to protect your network.

  • 802.1x : Check to enable this feature.

  • 802.1x Authentication Method: Select the authentication algorithm to use.

    • EAP-MD5: Offers minimal security. The MD5 hash function is vulnerable to dictionary attacks, and does not support key generation.

    • PEAP: Recommended for users who only intend to use Microsoft desktop clients and servers. For other users, it is not recommended.

    • EAP-MS-CHAPv2: MS-CHAPv2 provides two-way authentication between peers by combining a peer Challenge message with the Response packet and an authenticator Response message on the Success packet.

    • TLS: This is used to provide secure communication over the Internet between a client and server.
