The IP Settings Tab


The IP Settings Tab

You use the IP Settings tab, shown in Figure 3.7, to specify, edit, or remove additional IP addresses for this device when you are not using DHCP. This can be helpful when the device is acting as more than one type of server. Using an IP address for each type of server aids in clarity during configuration and troubleshooting. Additionally, you can make the same kinds of adjustments to the statically configured default gateway(s). The interface metric can be used to cause the device to favor one interface over another for otherwise equivalent routes. This is most helpful when the device is acting as a router with multiple NIC cards and possibly a dynamic
routing protocol (such as RIP or OSPF) running.
