ONFIGURATION
This chapter describes how to configure an IP interface for management
access to the switch over the network. This switch supports both IP Version
4 and Version 6, and can be managed simultaneously through either of
these address types. 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.
This chapter provides information on network functions including:
◆ Ping – Sends ping message to another node on the network.
◆ IPv4 Configuration – Sets an IPv4 address for management access.
◆ IPv6 Configuration – Sets an IPv6 address for management access.
