Chapter 13: IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses

260

If you assign both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to the switch, they
must be assigned to the same VLAN.

An IPv4 management address can be assigned manually or from a
DHCP server on your network. (To learn the switch’s MAC address
to add to a DHCP server, refer to “SHOW SWITCH” on page 131.)

An IPv6 address must be assigned manually. The switch does not
support the assignment of an IPv6 management address from a
DHCP server or by IPv6 auto assignment.

You must also assign the switch a default gateway if the
management devices (syslog servers, Telnet workstations, etc,)
are not members of the same subnet as the management address.
This IP address designates an interface on a router or other Layer
3 device that represents the first hop to the remote subnets or
networks where the network devices are located.

The default gateway address, if needed, must be a member of the
same subnet as the management address.
