Setting the SmartServer Hostname
The SmartServer Network Configuration page displays the SmartServer hostname in the Hostname field and can be updated as needed if you are using self-signed certificates (not if you are using built-in, signed certificates). If you change the hostname, you must also get new SSL certificates, since they are linked to the hostname. Refer to the Security Setting - Signed Certificates section for more information about using certificates.
Click Update to save changes. A system reboot is required for changes to take effect.
Setting the LAN and WAN Interfaces
The SmartServer Network Configuration page displays the LAN and WAN interface, current IP address, network mask (also known as the subnet mask), and default gateway. It also provides the option to set the network mode: Startup Mode - DHCP with rapid fallback to static, DHCP, or Static IP Address. The default setting is Startup Mode - DHCP with rapid fallback to static. Click the mode setting to change the network mode.
...
The Startup Mode - DHCP with rapid fallback to static is global for eth0 and eth1. Therefore, if you configure the eth0/eth1 to DHCP, then eth1/eth0 is no longer in Startup Mode - DHCP with rapid fallback to static. Changing one to DHCP, automatically sets the other to DHCP, and similarly for Startup Mode. Both LAN and WAN interfaces must be changed so neither is in Startup Mode - DHCP with rapid fallback to static.
If you are only using a single Ethernet port (the LAN or WAN port, not both ports), and you are using a LON U60 interface with a static IP address for eth0 or eth1, then you must set the LAN Interface Gateway field for that port (LAN or WAN). For example, if you are using the LAN port, then set the unused port to Startup Mode (see the example below).
If you are using both the LAN and WAN port, then you need to assign the default gateway IP address only when needed. At least one default gateway IP address needs to be used (either assigned by DHCP or by manually adding to a static IP address). Assigning gateway IP addresses to both ports may cause issues with Ethernet communication. Some Ethernet communications will work properly and others may not.

Setting Routing Table Entries
You can optionally add routing table entries if you are using both the WAN and LAN, the gateway IP address is not assigned to this port, and you need to access a device that is not on this port's IP subnet.
