This page displays the library's network settings which were set by the user during configuration.
Screen Element | Description |
---|---|
Host Name | The name of your host computer. |
DNS Primary | Enter the primary network identifier. |
DNS Secondary | Enter a secondary network identifier. |
Enable SSL for the Web User Interface | Check this box if you want to allow the security feature SSL when using the Web User Interface. |
Use IPv4 | Check this box if you want the library to use Internet Protocol version 4 to manage the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in your network. To use IPv4, you must specify whether the library will obtain an address automatically or will use a specific, pre-defined address. |
Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP) | Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is a communications protocol that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization's network. Choose this option to allow the library to determine the IP address. |
Use Static IP Address | Check this box to enter an IP address for the library using IPv4. You must enter the IP Address, Net Mask, and Gateway information. |
IP Address | The Internet Protocol Address of your library. |
Net Mask | A mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to. |
Gateway | A node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network. |
Use IPv6 | Check this box if you want the library to use Internet Protocol version 6 to manage the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in your network. IPv6 uses a longer IP address string than IPv4, and requires you to enter a prefix length. To use IPv6, you must specify whether the library will obtain an address automatically and the format for assigning the address, or whether the library will use a specific, pre-defined address. |
Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP) | Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is a communications protocol that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization's network. Choose this option to allow the library to determine the IP address using DHCP. |
Obtain an IP address automatically (Stateless Auto Config) | IPv6 allows you to obtain an address for a library without a separate dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server as in IPv4. Choose this option to assign an address without DHCP. |
Use Static IP Address | Check this box to enter an IP address for the library using IPv6. You must enter the IP Address, Prefix Length, and Gateway information. |
IP Address | The Internet Protocol Address of your library. |
Gateway | A node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network. |
