ETERNUS CS800
"Network Page: General" on page
The hostname of the ETERNUS CS800.
The Hostname cannot be blank and must contain only
letters
[ A–Z, a–z ], numbers [ 0–9 ], and hyphens [ - ].
The default gateway IP address.
Specifying a default gateway is optional if all access is
local to a particular subnet. For example, if the
ETERNUS CS800 and all of its clients are on the same
subnet, you do not need to specify a default gateway.
CAUTION!
Specifying a default gateway is required to
enable connectivity with all subnets other than
those that the ETERNUS CS800 is directly
connected to. For example, if the ETERNUS CS800
and its clients are on different subnets, or you are
using an external NTP server, you must specify a
default gateway.
(Optional) The domain list to search when resolving
domain names.
The list may be either a single domain name or a
comma-separated list of up to 6 domain names. The
first domain name listed is used as the local domain.
Domain names must contain only letters [ A–Z, a–z ],
numbers [ 0–9 ], dots [ . ], and hyphens [ - ].
