Network Data
Use this link to view information about the physical network interface controllers (NIC) and the team 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 that is 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:
|
||
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 the 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 the computer's unique hardware number. When you connect to the Internet from the system, a table correlates the IP address to the computer's physical (MAC) address on the network. |
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:
|
||
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 the 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 the computer's unique hardware number. When you connect to the Internet from the system, a table correlates the IP address to the computer's physical (MAC) address on the network. |
