Network settings

Property

Properties.API.HTTP.Version=3

Firmware

5.00 and later.

Network interface settings. The parameters in this group (as opposed to the subgroups of this group) are static network settings. If the Network.BootProto=dhcp these parameters may not be in use. Check the read-only parameters in the subgroups to retrieve actual network settings in use by the Axis product.

Enable/disable whether it is possible to set the IP address of the Axis product with ARP/Ping.

Enable/disable Bonjour and set the name to be displayed in Bonjour-clients.

Dynamic Updates in the Domain Name System according to RFC 2136.

Please note that updating the DNS name will require a sequence of VAPIX commands described below. This will initiate a new DNS name update from your Axis device to the DNS server, however issuing just an update of the Network.DNSUpdate.DNSName is not enough to trigger a new DNS update request.

Network settings of the first Ethernet interface. Use these parameters to retrieve the network settings actually in use by the Axis product.

1. The MAC address of the Axis product is unique for every single product. The MAC address is the same as the serial number, which can be found on the product's label.

Network settings of IPv6 on the first Ethernet interface. Use these parameters to retrieve the network settings actually in use by the Axis product.

IP address filtering. These parameters are used to only accept connections from certain IP addresses or networks.

IP addresses filtering for incoming data traffic.

Enable/disable logging of filtered packages.

Defines the HTTP and RTSP server authentication capabilities in Axis devices from firmware version 5.70 and higher. By using the parameter Network.HTTP.AuthenticationPolicy you can set the authentication capabilities to either basic, digest or basic_digest.

For RTSP communication, the authentication is performed by default on the RTSP server and controlled via Network.RTSP.AuthenticateRTSPOverHTTP if it has been set to yes. This option can be disabled and System.HTTPAuthRTSPOverHTTP can be used instead to authenticate RTSP requests over HTTP.

The parameters in this group enables the Axis product to access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X/EAPOL (Extensible Authentication Protocol Over Lan).

The parameters in this group sets the identity and password to access to a network protected by IEEE 802.1X/EAPOL (Extensible Authentication Protocol Over Lan).

Network interface settings for IPv6. The parameters in this group are static network settings. If AcceptRA=yes and/or DHCPv6 is used it will probably result in additional configuration. Check the read-only parameters in the other subgroups to retrieve actual network settings in use by the operation system.

Quality of Service classification. These parameters holds the DSCP value common for the members of a QoS class.

Quality of Service classification. These parameters holds the DSCP value common for the members of a QoS class.

Enable/disable retrieval of Domain Name System (DNS) settings from DHCP server. The actual DNS settings in use by the Axis product are located in this group.

Routing table actually in use by the Axis product.

Routing table for IPv6 actually in use by the Axis product.

Parameters related to multicast RTP.

Parameters related to multicast RTP. One group for each possible multicast presentation (for example video source).

The # is replaced with a group number starting from zero, e.g. Network.RTP.R0.

Parameters needed by the RTSP daemon.

Enable/disable Universal Plug and Play and set the name to be displayed in UPnP-clients.

These parameters control NAT traversal functionality. To make the task of port forwarding easier, Axis offers the NAT traversal functionality in many of its network video products. NAT traversal is a technique that can be used to open up routers and firewalls to make devices on a LAN accessible from the Internet.

Enable/disable retrieval of host name from DHCP-server. The host name, actually in use by the Axis product, is located in this group.

Enable/disable automatic configuration of link local IP address. The negotiated network settings are located in this group, and are used in parallel with the setting of the Network.eth0 group. That means that both addresses can be used simultaneously.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) configuration.

Traps are used by the camera to send messages to a management system for important events or status changes. These settings are used with SNMP v1/v2.

This parameter group contains a parameter for trap messages.

This parameter group contains a parameter for trap message when authentication attempt fails.

This parameter group contains a parameter for trap message when the camera is rebooted/resarted.

This parameter group contains a parameter for a trap message when a link changes from down to up.

This parameter group contains a parameter for a trap message when SNMP has started and the configure file has changed, but not the MIB (Management Information Base).

This parameter group contains a parameter that can be used to enable and disable NTCIP. Please note that SNMP must be enabled before you can use this parameter.
