NETGEAR M4350-24F4V 24-Port 10G SFP+ Managed AV Network Switch - Manual (Page 81)

IPv6 management interfaces and
VLANs
The main UI provides separate options for IPv6 interface and port-based IP management.
If you configure port-based IP management, VLAN-based IP management is disabled.
Similarly, if you configure VLAN-based IP management, port-based IP management is
disabled.
By default, the source interface for applications is VLAN 1. If you change the IPv6
management VLAN and port to a non-default value, the source interface to the VLAN
1 default VLAN and port are also automatically changed.
You can access the switch over the main UI by one of the following methods:
• IPv6 service port: The service port is a dedicated Ethernet port for out-of-band
management of the switch. Traffic on this port is segregated from operational network
traffic on the switch ports and cannot be switched or routed to the operational
network.
• Management VLAN interface: The management VLAN is the logical interface used
for in-band connectivity with the switch over any of the switch's network interfaces.
To access the switch over a network you must first configure an IP address and subnet
mask for the switch. To configure an IPv6 management VLAN, you can either use
the same VLAN that is used for IPv4 management or a different VLAN. The switch
does not provide a default IPv6 management VLAN. If you want to use one, you must
create it manually.
• Optional single management interface: By default, you can use any of the switch's
network interfaces as the management interface. However, you can restrict IPv6
management to one specific network interface.
Configure an IPv6 service port
You can configure IPv6 network information on the service port. The service port is a
dedicated Ethernet port for out-of-band management of the switch Traffic on this port
is segregated from operational network traffic on the switch ports and cannot be switched
or routed to the operational network.
To configure the IPv6 service port:
1. Launch a web browser.
2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Log in to the main UI with a web
browser on page 27 and the subsections.
