KwikNet System Configuration
Ethernet IP Address Definition (continued)
IP Version
Select the combination of IPv4 and IPv6 protocols that this network interface supports.
IPv4 Support only IPv4.
IPv6 Support only IPv6.
All (v4 and v6) Both IPv4 and IPv6 must be supported.
If you select IPv6, be sure to configure your KwikNet Library to include IPv6 support. To
do so, check the box labeled
"Support IPv6" on the IPv6 property page. Failure to do so
will result in a compilation error when you attempt to compile your
KwikNet Library. The
error will inform you that your library does not include support for IPv6.
Packet Forwarding
Select the type of packet forwarding that this network interface supports.
Disabled Forwarding of packets is not allowed on this interface.
Unicast only Support forwarding of IPv4 or IPv6 unicast packets.
Unicast + Dir. Broadcast Support forwarding of IPv4 or IPv6 unicast packets
and IPv4 directed broadcast packets.
IP Address
Enter the IP address of the network interface. This must be a unique, valid IP address
which can be used to identify the host computer attached to this network interface. Enter
0.0.0.0 if the network IP address is to be assigned or dynamically detected at runtime.
Subnet Mask
Enter the subnet mask of the network. The subnet mask defines the manner in which IP
addresses on this network are decoded to distinguish between the physical net address
and specific host identifiers residing at that physical net address. Enter 0.0.0.0 if subnet
addressing is not used on this network or is to be assigned or dynamically detected at
runtime.
Default Gateway
Enter the IP address of the default gateway to be used in the absence of specific routing
information. This value must be a valid host IP address or 0.0.0.0. Enter 0.0.0.0 if the
network has no default gateway or if the default gateway is to be assigned or dynamically
detected at runtime.
The default gateway is used to identify the network interface through which packets are
to be sent if the destination IP address is not otherwise known. Such packets will be sent
out this interface using the host on this network identified as the default gateway.
There can only be one default gateway in the system. The first network interface to
successfully declare its gateway address as the default will be used as the gateway.
