Network Data

Use this link to view information on network interface controllers (NIC) that may be installed in the system.

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. IP addresses are formatted in four sets of numbers separated by periods; for example, 204.171.64.2.
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.
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.

If you are using a Microsoft® Windows® 2000 server as a router: 1) you must bind one address from each subnet to the NIC in that server, and 2) you must enable Routing and Remote Access Services (RRAS) in a network router configuration.

The Windows 2000 server acting as a router would have no default gateway unless you want it to route to another network such as the Internet. If so, then define a default gateway in RRAS that points at the Internet router.

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

NOTE: Some features documented in this online help may not be available on your system's remote access controller (RAC).

Use this link to view important information about remote access controllers (RACs).

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.

PCMCIA Card Information Information about installed PCMCIA cards, such as a modem, that may be installed in the system.
Version Version number of the Remote Access Controller.
