displays it at the top of this dialog box. This is the most accurate way to identify

Use Interface/Aliases in Host Files

as follows:

If you want SiteConfig to use the current device hostname in the hosts file that
it can create, leave the checkbox unchecked.

If you want SiteConfig to use the interface name in the hosts file that it can
create, check the checkbox.

6. Evaluate IP settings as follows:

If only Current settings are displayed (the Planned tab is not displayed), it means
the planned settings you configured on the placeholder device are identical to
those on the actual device. If this is the case, no further configuration is required.

If both a Current tab and a Planned tab are displayed, it means the planned
settings you configured on the placeholder device are not identical to those on
the actual device. If this is the case, do not apply planned settings. Doing so
overwrites IP settings on the actual device, which stops network communication.
Instead, select the

Planned

tab and click

Remove

.

NOTE: Do not click OK if planned settings (red text) are displayed.

7. When you are sure that only Current settings are displayed and that those are the

current valid settings for the device, click

Apply

OK

to save settings and close.
