Network
Basic TCP/IP Settings
The Axis product supports IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both vers ions can be enabled simultaneously, and at least one version
must always be enabled.
IPv4 Address Conguration
By default, the Axis product is set to use IPv4 (IP version 4) and to obtain the IP address automatically via DHCP. The IPv4 settings are
congured under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol) allows network administrators to centrally manage and a utomate the assignment of IP
addresses. DHCP should only be enab led if using dynamic IP address notication,oriftheDHCPcanupdateaDNSserver,which
when allows you to access the Axis product by name (host name).
If DHCP is enabled and the product cannot be access e d, run AXIS IP Utility to search the network for connected Axis products, or reset
the product to the factory default settings (see page 49) and then perform the installation again.
To use a static IP address, check Use the following IP address and s pecify the IP address, subnet mask and default router.
IPv6 Address Con guration
If IPv6 (IP ve rsion 6) is enabled, the Axis product will receive an IP address according to the conguration in the network router.
To enable IPv6, go to System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic. Other settings for IPv6 should be congured in the network router.
ARP/Ping
The IP address can be set using ARP and Ping. For instructions, see the product’s Installation Guide.
ARP/Ping is enabled by default. To d isa b le , uncheck the box under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic.
The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two minutes after the product is started, or as soon as an IP address is set. To reset the
IP address, the product must be restarted to activate ARP/Ping for an additional two minutes.
Pinging the product is still possible w hen this service is disabled.
