Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch Shared resources such as a server can be used by all ports in the same VLAN as the server. In the following figure only ports that need access to the server need to be part of VLAN 1. Ports can belong to other VLAN groups too. Figure 4 Shared Server Using VLAN Example 1.1.5 IPv6 Support IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), is designed to enhance IP address size and features. The increase in IPv6 address size to 128 bits (from the 32-bit IPv4 address) allows up to 3.4 x 1038 IP addresses. At the time of writing, the Switch supports the following features. • Static address assignment and stateless auto-configuration • Neighbor Discovery Protocol (a protocol used to discover other IPv6 devices in a network) • Remote Management using ping SNMP, telnet, HTTP and FTP services • ICMPv6 to report errors encountered in packet processing and perform diagnostic functions, such as "ping" • IPv4/IPv6 dual stack; the Switch can run IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time • DHCPv6 client and relay • Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping and proxy For more information on IPv6, refer to the CLI Reference Guide. 1.2 Ways to Manage the Switch Use any of the following methods to manage the Switch. • Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the Switch using a (supported) web browser. See Chapter 4 on page 37. • Command Line Interface. Line commands offer an alternative to the web configurator and in some cases are necessary to configure advanced features. See the CLI Reference Guide. • FTP. Use FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore. See Section 38.8 on page 289. • SNMP. The Switch can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See Section 39.3 on page 292. 22 ES3500 Series User's Guide
