IPv4 Network Mode: An indication of whether the IPv4 interface is configured as DHCP or Static. When it is configured as DHCP, the IP address associated with the interface is assigned dynamically and cannot be modified. When it is configured as Static, you must assign a valid IPv4 address for the interface.
Gateway: The gateway used for the interface. Each IPv4 gateway supports up to two network interfaces. If you configure more than two network interfaces for the same gateway, the gateway address will not be displayed for them.
IPv4 CIDR: The IPv4 address and netmask.
IPv4 Metric: A value that you assign to an IP route for a particular interface, for routing purposes. Valid IPv4 metric values are from 0 (default) to 4294967294999999.
BloxOne uses the metric value to determine which interface is to be used for cloud communications. The metric value is important if you have multiple network interfaces configured with the gateway. The lower the metric value, the higher the priority the interface has in the IP routing table. For example, when you set the metric value to 0 for one interface and 20 for another, the interface with the metric value 0 will have a higher priority and will become the primary interface to be used for cloud traffic that goes through the configured gateway. If the primary interface is down, the traffic will go through the next prioritized interface. If you configure the same metric value for two interfaces, the system will decide and take the best route (the one with fewest hops) to the destination via the associated interface. If the number of hops is the same for both paths, the traffic will be load-balanced between the two associated interfaces.

IPV6 Network Mode:
DHCP: The IP address is dynamically assigned by the DHCP server, so you cannot modify the IP address associated with the interface.
RA: (router advertisements): The host in your IPv6 network auto-generates a link-local address to communicate with other hosts or neighbors on the same network.
Auto Select: The system selects the best way to obtain an IPv6 address for the host.
Static: You have to manually assign a valid IPv6 address, CIDR, and a gateway for the host.
Gateway: The default gateway used for the IPv6 interface.
IPv6 CIDR: The IPv6 address and CIDR associated with the interface.
IPv6 Metric: A value that you assign to an IP route for a particular interface, for routing purposes. Valid metric values are from 0 to 4294967294999999, and the default value is 1024
