Both versions can be enabled simultaneously, and at least one versionmust always be enabled.IPv4 Address ConfigurationBy default, the Axis product is set to use IPv4 (IP version 4) and to obtain the IP address automatically via DHCP. The IPv4 settings areconfigured under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic.DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows network administrators to centrally manage and automate the assignment ofIP addresses. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notification, or if the DHCP can update a DNS server. It isthen possible to access the Axis product by name (host name).If DHCP is enabled and the product cannot be accessed, run AXIS IP Utility to search the network for connected Axis products, or resetthe product to the factory default settings (seepage 44) and then perform the installation again.To use a static IP address, check Use the following IP address and specify the IP address, subnet mask and default router.IPv6 Address ConfigurationIf IPv6 (IP version 6) is enabled, the Axis product will receive an IP address according to the configuration in the network router.To enable IPv6, go to System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic. Other settings for IPv6 should be configured in the network router.ARP/PingThe product’s IP address can be assigned using ARP and Ping. For instructions, seeAssign IP Address using ARP/Ping on page 36.The ARP/Ping service is enabled by default but is automatically disabled two minutes after the product is started, or as soon as an IPaddress is assigned. To re-assign IP address using ARP/Ping, the product must be restarted to enable ARP/Ping for an additionaltwo minutes.To disable the service, go to System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic and clear the option Enable ARP/Ping setting of IP address.Pinging the product is still possible when the service is disabled.Assign IP Address using ARP/PingThe product's IP address can be assigned using ARP/Ping.
