Network Connections

To see the network connections available to Lighthouse:

  1. Select SETTINGS > NETWORK CONNECTIONS > Network Interfaces.

  2. The Details column displays connections of three types:

    1. Static interfaces

    2. DHCP IPv4 interfaces and by default,

    3. An automatic IPv6 connection.

  3. Click the Edit icon to view the status and change the connection details such as the following on the Static interfaces:

    • IPv4 Address

    • IPv4 network Mask

    • Gateway

    • Primary DNS Server

    • Secondary DNS Server

Note:Editing the network settings may break connectivity.

  1. Select SETTINGS > NETWORK CONNECTIONS > Network Interfaces.

  3. Make the desired changes.

  4. Click Apply.

Note:Do not change the Connection Type of default network interfaces. If a default interface is not required, edit the interface and uncheck the Enabled checkbox.
Instead, disable the interface which will not be used by unchecking the Enabled checkbox. If default-static and default-DHCP are changed to the same configuration method (that is, if both are set to Static assignment or both are set to DHCP) neither interface works.
