6: Basic Parameters 2. Enter the following information: Ethernet Interfaces (Eth1 and Eth2) Note: Configurations with the same IP subnet on multiple interfaces (Ethernet or PPP) are not currently supported. Eth 1 Settings or Eth 2 Settings IP Address (if specifying) Subnet Mask IPv6 Address IPv6 Address (Link Local) Mode MTU Multicast Enable IPv6 Ethernet Bonding  Disabled: If selected, disables the network port.  Obtain from DHCP: Acquires IP address, subnet mask, hostname and gateway from the DHCP server. (The DHCP server may not provide the hostname gateway, depending on its setup.) This is the default setting. If you select this option, skip to Gateway.  Obtain from BOOTP: Lets a network node request configuration information from a BOOTP "server" node. If you select this option, skip to Gateway.  Specify: Lets you manually assign a static IP address, generally provided by the system administrator.  Enter an IP address that will be unique and valid on your network. There is no default.  Enter all IP addresses in dot-quad notation. Do not use leading zeros in the fields for dot-quad numbers less than 100. For example, if your IP address is 172.19.201.28, do not enter 028 for the last segment octet. Note: Currently, the SLC unit does not support configurations with the same IP subnet on multiple interfaces (Ethernet or PPP). If specifying an IP address, enter the network segment on which the SLC unit resides. There is no default. Address of the port in IPv6 format. Note: The SLC 8000 advanced console manager supports IPv6 connections for a limited set of services: the web, SSH, and Telnet. IPv6 addresses are written as 8 sets of 4-digit hexadecimal numbers separated by colons. There are several rules for modifying the address. For example: 1234:0BCD:1D67:0000:0000:8375:BADD:0057 may be shortened to 1234:BCD:1D67::8375:BADD:57. An IPv6 address that is intended only for communications within the segment of a local network. Select the direction, duplex mode (full duplex or half-duplex), and speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbit) of data transmission. The default is Auto, which allows the Ethernet port to auto-negotiate the speed and duplex with the hardware endpoint to which it is connected. Specifies the maximum transmission unit (MTU) or maximum packet size of packets at the IP layer (OSI layer 3) for the Ethernet port. When fragmenting a datagram, this is the largest number of bytes that can be used in a packet. Displays the multicast address of the Ethernet port. Select this box to enable the IPv6 protocol. Disabled by default. Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2 can be bonded to support redundancy (Active Backup), aggregation (802.3ad), and load balancing. Disabled by default. Note that if Ethernet Bonding is enabled, assigning individual IP Addresses to Device Ports is not supported. SLC™ 8000 Advanced Console Manager User Guide 61

2.
Enter the following information:
Ethernet Interfaces (Eth1 and Eth2)
Note:
Configurations with the same IP subnet on multiple interfaces (Ethernet or PPP)
are not currently supported.
Eth 1 Settings
or
Eth 2 Settings
Disabled:
If selected, disables the network port.
Obtain from DHCP:
Acquires IP address, subnet mask, hostname and gateway
from the DHCP server. (The DHCP server may not provide the hostname
gateway, depending on its setup.) This is the default setting. If you select this
option, skip to Gateway.
Obtain from BOOTP:
Lets a network node request configuration information
from a BOOTP "server" node. If you select this option, skip to Gateway.
Specify:
Lets you manually assign a static IP address, generally provided by the
system administrator.
IP Address
(if specifying)
Enter an IP address that will be unique and valid on your network. There is no
default.
Enter all IP addresses in dot-quad notation. Do not use leading zeros in the
fields for dot-quad numbers less than 100. For example, if your IP address is
172.19.201.28, do not enter 028 for the last segment octet.
Note:
Currently, the SLC unit does not support configurations with the same IP
subnet on multiple interfaces (Ethernet or PPP).
Subnet Mask
If specifying an IP address, enter the network segment on which the SLC unit
resides. There is no default.
IPv6 Address
Address of the port in IPv6 format.
Note:
The SLC 8000 advanced console manager supports IPv6 connections for a
limited set of services: the web, SSH, and Telnet.
IPv6 addresses are written as 8 sets of 4-digit hexadecimal numbers separated by
colons. There are several rules for modifying the address. For example:
1234:0BCD:1D67:0000:0000:8375:BADD:0057
may be shortened to
1234:BCD:1D67::8375:BADD:57.
IPv6 Address
(Link Local)
An IPv6 address that is intended only for communications within the segment of a
local network.
Mode
Select the direction, duplex mode (full duplex or half-duplex), and speed (10, 100,
or 1000 Mbit) of data transmission. The default is Auto, which allows the Ethernet
port to auto-negotiate the speed and duplex with the hardware endpoint to which it
is connected.
MTU
Specifies the maximum transmission unit (
MTU
) or maximum packet size of
packets at the IP layer (OSI layer 3) for the Ethernet port. When fragmenting a
datagram, this is the largest number of bytes that can be used in a packet.
Multicast
Displays the multicast address of the Ethernet port.
Enable IPv6
Select this box to enable the IPv6 protocol. Disabled by default.
Ethernet Bonding
Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2 can be bonded to support redundancy (Active Backup),
aggregation (802.3ad), and load balancing. Disabled by default. Note that if
Ethernet Bonding is enabled, assigning individual IP Addresses to Device Ports is
not supported.
