Domain Settings (IP Address) screen

Beginning with VC 4.10, VCM supports the use of IPv6 addresses. IPv6 introduces a 128-bit address that

provides better security, simplicity in configuration, and improved maintenance. To migrate from IPv4 to

IPv6, the network must have an infrastructure that can support and implement the IPv6 protocol.
Use this screen to set a domain IPv4 or IPv6 address for the Virtual Connect domain. This IP address is then
consistent, regardless of which module is primary within the domain.
The optional domain IP address setting allows for a consistent IP address that is independent of the

interconnect module on which it is running. If set, this IP address must be unique within the network and must

be different than the IP address of the module itself. If this IP address is not set, the VC Manager can still be
reached through the IP address of the host VC-Enet module.
To use an optional domain IP address, select the Use Domain IP address check box, and then enter the IP

Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway.

NOTE:

Even if a domain IP address is provided, the normal IP address assigned to the

interconnect bay can still be used.

The following table describes the available actions in the Domain Settings (IP Address) screen. Clicking

another link in the pull-down menu or left navigation tree causes current edits that have not been applied to

be lost.
