Network configuration
This section provides information on network interface configuration. There are three main modes of interface configuration:
Interface setup: Static
The static protocol uses a predefined manual configuration instead of obtaining parameters automatically via a DHCP lease.
| Field | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| IPv4 address | ip4; default[for LAN]: 192.168.1.3 | The IPv4 address interface of this interface. An IP address identifies a device on a network and allows it to communicate with other devices. |
| IPv4 netmask | netmask; default[for LAN]: 255.255.255.0 | The IPv4 netmask of this interface. A netmask is used to define how "large" a network is by specifying which part of the IP address denotes the network and which part denotes a device. |
| IPv4 gateway | ip4; default: none | The IPv4 gateway address used by this interface. An interface's default gateway is the default address through which all outgoing traffic is directed. |
| IPv6 address | ip6; default: none | The IPv6 address interface of this interface. An IP address identifies a device on a network and allows it to communicate with other devices. |
| IPv6 gateway | ip6; default: none | The IPv6 gateway address used by this interface. An interface's default gateway is the default address through which all outgoing traffic is directed. |
| DNS servers | ip4; default: none | DNS server addresses that this interface will use. If left empty, DNS servers are assigned automatically. To see what DNS servers are currently used, you can check the contents of the /tmp/resolv.conf.auto file. |
Interface setup: DHCP
The DHCP protocol is used to set up an interface which obtains its configuration parameters automatically via a DHCP lease.
Interface setup: Static + DHCP
The Static + DHCP protocols are used simultaneously to obtain configuration parameters manually and automatically.
