IPv4 Address— IPv4 address and subnet mask of the web
interface. The IPv4 management address is assigned to the
switch. The address is specified in the following format:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Each xxx is a number from 0 to 255. There are four groups of
numbers that are separated by periods.
Note
For IPv4 addresses, the subnet mask is a decimal number that
represents the number of bits, from left to right, that constitute the
network portion of the address. Here are some examples:
— The decimal mask 16 is equivalent to the mask 255.255.0.0.
— The decimal mask 24 is equivalent to the mask 255.255.255.0.
IPv4 Gateway— IPv4 address of the next hop of the switch’s
default route. The switch uses a default route when it must
communicate with a device that is not on the local IPv4 network.
System Name— Name of the switch. To configure this field, see
“Setting the Switch Information” on page 40.
System Contact— Contact person for the switch. To configure
this field, see “Setting the Switch Information” on page 40.
System Location— Location of the switch. To configure this field,
see “Setting the Switch Information” on page 40.
Management VLAN— Management VLAN assigned to the switch.
The default VLAN is “VLAN1.”
IPv6 Address— IPv6 address and subnet mask of the web
interface. An IPv6 management address for the switch is entered
in the following format:
nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn
Where “n” is a hexadecimal digit from 0 to F. The eight groups of
digits are separated by colons. Groups where all four digits are “0”
can be omitted. Leading “0”s in groups can also be omitted.
For example, the following IPv6 addresses are equivalent:
12c4:421e:09a8:0000:0000:0000:00a4:1c50
12c4:421e:9a8::a4:1c50
