Service IPv4 or Service IPv6 options

You can use the front panel to change a service IPv4 address or a service IPv6 address.

IPv4 Address option

The IPv4 Address panels show one of the following items for the selected Ethernet port:

The active service address if the system has an IPv4 address. This address can be either a configured or fixed address, or it can be an address obtained through DHCP.
DHCP Failed if the IPv4 service address is configured for DHCP but the node was unable to obtain an IP address.
DHCP Configuring if the IPv4 service address is configured for DHCP while the node attempts to obtain an IP address. This address changes to the IPv4 address automatically if a DHCP address is allocated and activated.
A blank line if the system does not have an IPv4 address.

If the service IPv4 address was not set correctly or a DHCP address was not allocated, you have the option of correcting the IPv4 address from this panel. The service IP address must be in the same subnet as the management IP address.

To set a fixed service IPv4 address from the IPv4 Address: panel, perform the following steps:

Press and release the select button to put the panel in edit mode.
Press the right button or left button to move to the number field that you want to set.
Press the up button if you want to increase the value that is highlighted; press the down button if you want to decrease that value. If you want to quickly increase the highlighted value, hold the up button. If you want to quickly decrease the highlighted value, hold the down button.
Note: If you want to disable the fast increase or decrease function, press and hold the down button, press and release the select button, and then release the down button. The disabling of the fast increase or decrease function lasts until the creation is completed or until the feature is again enabled. If the up button or down button is pressed and held while the function is disabled, the value increases or decreases once every two seconds. To again enable the fast increase or decrease function, press and hold the up button, press and release the select button, and then release the up button.
When all the fields are set as required, press and release the select button to activate the new IPv4 address.
The IPv4 Address: panel is displayed. The new service IPv4 address is not displayed until it has become active. If the new address has not been displayed after 2 minutes, check that the selected address is valid on the subnetwork and that the Ethernet switch is working correctly.

IPv6 Address option

The IPv6 Address panels show one of the following conditions for the selected Ethernet port:

The active service address if the system has an IPv6 address. This address can be either a configured or fixed address, or it can be an address obtained through DHCP.
DHCP Failed if the IPv6 service address is configured for DHCP but the node was unable to obtain an IP address.
DHCP Configuring if the IPv6 service address is configured for DHCP while the node attempts to obtain an IP address. This changes to the IPv6 address automatically if a DHCP address is allocated and activated.
A blank line if the system does not have an IPv6 address.

If the service IPv6 address was not set correctly or a DHCP address was not allocated, you have the option of correcting the IPv6 address from this panel. The service IP address must be in the same subnet as the management IP address.

To set a fixed service IPv6 address from the IPv6 Address: panel, perform the following steps:

Press and release the select button to put the panel in edit mode. When the panel is in edit mode, the full address is still shown across four panels as eight (four-digit) hexadecimal values. You edit each digit of the hexadecimal values independently. The current digit is highlighted.
Press the right button or left button to move to the number field that you want to set.
Press the up button if you want to increase the value that is highlighted; press the down button if you want to decrease that value.
When all the fields are set as required, press and release the select button to activate the new IPv6 address.
The IPv6 Address: panel is displayed. The new service IPv6 address is not displayed until it has become active. If the new address has not been displayed after 2 minutes, check that the selected address is valid on the subnetwork and that the Ethernet switch is working correctly.
