Modifying Library Host Name and DNS Settings (IPv6 Enabled)

After the initial configuration, you can modify network settings for host name and Domain Name Server (DNS) using the Web client. This screen only displays when library support for IPv6 addresses is enabled. For more information, refer to About Network Settings.

The DNS address text box is limited to IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.

NOTE: IP addresses may be entered using the IPv4 dot notation or using the IPv6 format. IPv4 addresses must be entered in dot notation (for example, 192.168.0.1). IPv4 address text boxes do not allow values exceeding 255 for dot-separated values.

NOTE: Changing the network settings may interrupt the library connection and library communication. Your current browser session may become invalid. If this happens, you must close your browser and then restart it to reconnect to the library with your new configuration settings.

NOTE: This operation should not be performed concurrently by multiple administrators logged in from different locations. You can access the appropriate screens, but you cannot apply changes while another administrator is performing the same operation.

You need administrator privileges to modify network settings.
