Network Interface
Network Interface Controller <n> Data (Repeated for Each Network Interface Present in the System)
IP Address A number that provides the address of a system or device attached to a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network. Every system and device, such as a network-attached storage device, must have a unique IP address. The supported protocols are:
IPv4: Displays the IPv4 address in sets of four numbers separated by periods; for example, 204.171.64.2.IPv6: Displays the IPv6 address in sets of eight hexadecimal values separated by colons; for example, 2001:3ffe:9:4545:3:200:f8ff:fe21.
NOTE: You can view only one set of IP address for the NIC in the Summary page. To view the other sets of IP addresses, navigate to the individual physical interface link under Network -> Physical NIC Interface(s).
Subnet Mask Thirty-two-bit address mask used in IP to indicate the bits of an IP address that are being used for the subnet address.
NOTE: The subnet mask is not displayed if you have entered IPv6 address.
Default Gateway The default gateway provides the address of the router for your network.
For example, if you define a subnet 192.168.1.0 and the IP address for the router interface on that subnet is 192.168.1.254, then all the systems (other than the router) in that subnet would have a default gateway set for 192.168.1.254.
MAC Address On a network, the MAC (Media Access Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number. When you connect to the Internet from your system, a table correlates your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address on the network.
Back to Top
Team Interface
IP Address A number that provides the address of a team interface. Every team interface must have a unique IP address. The supported protocols are:
IPv4: Displays the IPv4 address in sets of four numbers separated by periods; for example, 204.171.64.2.
IPv6: Displays the IPv6 address in sets of eight hexadecimal values separated by colons; for example, 2001:3ffe:9:4545:3:200:f8ff:fe21.
NOTE: You can view only one set of IP address for the team interface in the Summary page. To view the other sets of IP addresses, navigate to the individual team interface link under Network -> Team Interface(s) .
Subnet Mask Thirty-two-bit address mask used in IP to indicate the bits of an IP address that are being used for the subnet address.
NOTE: The subnet mask is not displayed if you have entered IPv6 address.
Default Gateway The default gateway provides the address of the router for your network.
For example, if you define a subnet 192.168.1.0 and the IP address for the router interface on that subnet is 192.168.1.254, then all the systems (other than the router) in that subnet would have a default gateway set for 192.168.1.254.
MAC Address On a network, the MAC (Media Access Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number. When you connect to the Internet from your system, a table correlates your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address on the network.

Remote Access Controllers
Product Type of RAC, including firmware version number and build number.
Current IP Address A number that provides the address of a system or device attached to a TCP/IP network. Every system and device, such as a network attached storage device, must have a unique IP address. IP addresses are formatted in four sets of numbers separated by periods; for example, 204.171.64.2.
Current IP Subnet Thirty-two-bit address mask used in IP to indicate the bits of an IP address that are being used for the subnet address.
Current IP Gateway The IP gateway provides the address of the router for your network.
For example, if you define a subnet 192.168.1.0 and the IP address for the router interface on that subnet is 192.168.1.254, then all the systems (other than the router) in that subnet would have a default gateway set for 192.168.1.254.
