TCP/IP Configuration is one of several platform views. Typically, you use it to initially configure a remote JACE’s TCP/IP settings. Some earlier JACE models have only a single Ethernet port (interface) for configuring TCP/IP, but if equipped with two Ethernet ports, both interfaces are accessible (Figure 96).

If connected to your localhost (PC) platform, this view also provides access to your PC’s Windows TCP/IP settings. However, you typically use the Windows Control Panel for making these changes.

Regardless of platform connection, if you make any changes in this view, a reboot of that platform is necessary before those changes are effective. A popup dialog appears when you click Save (Figure 97), asking if you wish the platform daemon to reboot that host now. When making multiple changes, wait until entering all changes before you click Save, Yes.
