Bare metal setup option

Use the Bare Metal Setup interface to modify network information and configure network adapters.

To modify connection settings

1        Click Bare Metal Setup to launch the Configuration interface.

2        Select the desired network adapter.

3        Select Change Settings, modify settings as desired, then click Apply to save.

4        Click Query Server to verify connectivity by querying the Unitrends system’s backup records.

Note: When the system is booted and an adapter has incorrect settings (e.g., duplicate IP address or the adapter is not plugged into a switch), select Use DHCP to configure the adapter using the DHCP protocol. This resets the IP address settings for that adapter. To subscribe to a new DHCP address, select Renew. Optionally, the adapter can remain in an unconfigured state if another adapter will be used instead.

To view summary of current network adapters

1        Select the red Available Network Adapters entry to display a table view of all adapters and their properties.

2        Select Available Network Adapters title again to switch back to the network settings view.
