2. Set the IP parameters listed in Table 3-20.
   Table 3-20  IP parameters

   Parameter	Description	Setting
   Common Settings
   Network interface mode	Specifies the working mode for the network ports on the endpoint. Auto detection: When accessing the network, the endpoint automatically negotiates with a remote network device to determine the optimal work mode. 10 Mbps and half duplex: The data transmission rate is 10 Mbit/s, and data cannot be sent and received at the same time. 10 Mbps and full duplex: The data transmission rate is 10 Mbit/s, and data can be sent and received at the same time. 100 Mbps and half duplex: The data transmission rate is 100 Mbit/s, and data cannot be sent and received at the same time. 100 Mbps and full duplex: The data transmission rate is 100 Mbit/s, and data can be sent and received at the same time. 1000Mbps and full duplex: The data transmission rate is 1000 Mbit/s, and data can be sent and received at the same time.	The default value is Auto detection. It is recommended that the parameter value be set to the same as the network port working mode of the remote network device. NOTE: When you do not know the network port working mode of a remote network device, set this parameter to Auto detection. Otherwise, the endpoint may fail to access the network.
   Hub network port mode	Specifies whether the endpoint can function as a hub in this mode, enabling the devices connected to its two network ports to communicate with each other. When the endpoint is connected to the Internet, devices connected to the network ports on the endpoint can also access the Internet.	The default value is Disable.
   MTU	Specifies the maximum transmission unit (MTU) in bytes. If the MTU is too large, the network transmission rate may be slowed, resulting in packet transmission failures. If the MTU is too small, the network transmission efficiency may suffer.	The default value is 1500.
   Local IP address
   PPPoE	Specifies whether the endpoint accesses broadband networks using dial-up connections. NOTE: If you set this parameter to Enable, you must also set Dialing mode, User name, and Password.	The default value is Disable.
   Dialing mode User name Password	Specifies the dial-up connection mode. The dial-up process complies with the Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) protocol. To use a dial-up connection, in User name and Password, enter the user name and password that are provided by your broadband access service provider. Auto: When the endpoint starts, it automatically sets up a dial-up connection over the IP network. If the dial-up service is not free of charge, charging starts when the dial-up connection is established. Manual: The endpoint uses the dial-up program to access the network. For details about how to use PPPoE for dial-up connections, see Setting Up a PPPoE Dial-Up Connection.	The default value of Dialing mode is Auto.
   Connection type	Specifies the mode in which the endpoint obtains an IP address. Static IP: The network administrator assigns an IP address to the endpoint. If you select this option, you must also set Local IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway address. Dynamic IP: When a DHCP server is available on the network, the endpoint automatically obtains an IP address using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).	The default value is Static IP.
   Local IP address	Specifies the endpoint IP address.	The default value is 192.168.1.1 Examples: IPv4: 192.168.1.10 IPv6: fc00:0:0:0:200:55:26:1
   Subnet mask	Specifies the subnet mask for the endpoint IP address. A subnet mask divides the IP address into a network address and a host address.	The default value is 255.255.255.0
   Gateway address	Specifies the gateway address that corresponds to the endpoint IP address.	Examples: IPv4: 192.168.1.1 IPv6: fc00:0:0:0:200:55:0:1
   IPv6	Specifies whether IPv6 is used. If you use IPv6, you must also set Connection type, Local IP address, Subnet prefix length, and Gateway address.	The default value is Disable.
   Subnet prefix length	Specifies the prefix length for the IPv6 address of the endpoint.	The default value is 0. You need to set this parameter only when the IPv6 is enabled.
   Alternate IP address
   Alternate IP address Subnet mask	Specifies the alternate IP address of the endpoint. This IP address cannot be in the same network segment as Local IP address (described in the Local IP address section in this table) or the IP address of the gatekeeper (GK) server.	No default value is set for this parameter.
   DNS
   DNS address type	Specifies the mode for setting the DNS server address. Auto: The endpoint automatically obtains the DNS server address. If you select this option, a DNS server must be available on the network. Manual: You must set DNS server address 1, DNS server address 2, or DNS server address 3.	The default value is Auto.
   DNS server address 1 DNS server address 2 DNS server address 3	Specifies the IP address of the active Domain Name System (DNS) server. After you set this parameter, domain names can be used as the addresses of network gatekeeper (GK) and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) servers. The DNS server will translate the domain names into the IP addresses of the GK and SIP servers.	No default value is set for this parameter.
   802.1x
   802.1x	Specifies whether to enable 802.1x authentication. If the network where your endpoint is deployed requires authentication, set this parameter to Enable. NOTE: If you set this parameter to Enable, you must also set Authentication mode.	The default value is Disable.
   Authentication mode	Specifies the authentication mode, which can be certificate authentication or password authentication. Certificate: Use an imported certificate and the set Certificate account to initiate authentication to the authentication server. Password: Use the set user name and password to initiate authentication to the authentication server.	The default value is Password. NOTE: If you select Certificate, obtain the certificate from the certificate server administrator first. For details about how to import a certificate, see Importing a Certificate.
   Certificate account	Specifies the ID that matches the certificate imported for certificate authentication.	Obtain the values from the authentication server administrator.
   User name Password	Specify the user name and password for network authentication.	Obtain the values from the authentication server administrator.
   802.1p/q
   802.1p/q	Specifies whether to enable 802.1p/q. If the switch has a virtual LAN (VLAN) set, enable 802.1p/q and set related parameters so the endpoint can access the switch and network interconnection can be implemented. NOTE: If you set this parameter to Enable, you must also set VLAN ID and Priority.	The default value is Disable. NOTE: The settings must be consistent with those on the switch. Otherwise, network interconnection may fail.
   VLAN ID	Specifies the ID of the VLAN to which the endpoint needs to connect.	The default value is 1. Value range: 1-4094 Obtain the ID from the network administrator.
   Priority	Specifies the priority of packets forwarded by the switch. The priority increases with the value.	The default value is 0. Value range: 0-7
