An IP Version 4 and Version 6 address may be used for management access to the switch over the
network. Both IPv4 or IPv6 addresses can be used simultaneously to access the switch. You can
manually configure a specific IPv4 or IPv6 address or direct the switch to obtain an IPv4 address
from a BOOTP or DHCP server when it is powered on. An IPv6 address can either be manually
configured or dynamically generated.

An IPv4 address for this switch is obtained via DHCP by default for VLAN 1. You may also need to a
establish an IPv4 or IPv6 default gateway between this device and management stations that exist
on another network segment.
