Network Interface Configuration (Zenitel Connect Pro)
From Zenitel Wiki
Introduction
Network Interface configuration is done from the tile Networks in the System section.
An ICX-510 has two network interfaces which can be configured, a Virtual Machine has minimum of one network interface.

| Network configuration |
ICX-510 - default configuration
The two network interface of the ICX-510 are labeled Eth0 and Eth1. The default configuration is:
- Eth0: Static IP-address: 169.254.1.5/16
- Eth1: DHCP
|
It is highly recommended to use “Static” IP address, as the devices need to know the IP-address of the server. Alternatively use DHCP, and link the MAC-address of the ICX-510 to a fixed IP address in the DHCP Server. |

|
It is strongly recommended not to use the 169.254.x.x/16 range in production environment. This range is reserved for link-local addressing (APIPA), which computers automatically assign themselves when they cannot get an IP address from a DHCP server. Because these addresses are not routable and only work on the local link, using them intentionally in a VoIP intercom system can cause connectivity instability, discovery problems, and incompatibility with routing, VLANs, or centralized management. |

IP addresses are given in CIDR notation |
Virtual Machine - default configuration
A Virtual Machine may have multiple network interfaces. All interface are configured as DHCP.
Network interface options
Each network interface has 3 main settings which can be selected:
- DHCP
- Static
- IP-address
- Gateway IP-address
- DNS
- Alternate DNS
The Server Hostname is common to all interfaces and only needs to be set for one interface.
The current status of the selected ethernet interface is displayed:
 |
| Current configuration |
- IPv4 Address: Current IP-address of the interface. This may be different from the setting in the IP-address field, if the new setting has not been saved yet. If the port is not connected it will show as status Disconnected
- Hardware Address: The MAC-address of the interface
