To add a static entry to the local DNS table:
1.
Select
System > Management > DNS > Host Configuration
.
2.
Specify the static host name to add.
•
Enter up to 158 characters.
•
Each label (separated by periods) can be up to 63 characters.
3.
Specify the IP address in standard IPv4 dot notation to associate with the hostname.
4.
Click
ADD
. The entry displays in the list.
The Dynamic Host Configuration table shows host name-to-IP address entries that the switch
has learned. The following table describes the dynamic host fields.
Table 4.
Dynamic Host Configuration Table Fields
Field
Description
Host
Lists the host name you assign to the specified IP address.
Type
The type of the dynamic entry.
IPv4/IPv6 Address
Lists the IP address associated with the host name.
Click
CLEAR
to delete dynamic host entries. The table repopulates with entries as they are
learned.
Green Ethernet Configuration
The Green Ethernet features allow the switch to reduce power consumption on a per-port
basis. Each switch can support one or more of the following features:
•
Auto Power Down Mode
. When the Auto Power Down mode is enabled and the port link
is down, the physical layer (PHY) automatically shuts down for a short period and wakes
up to check link pulses. This mode reduces power consumption on the port when no link
partner is present.
•
Short Cable Mode
. With Short Cable mode enabled, the PHY goes into low-power mode
when the cable length is less than a certain limit.
•
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) Mode
. EEE enables ports to enter a low-power mode
to reduce power consumption during periods of low link utilization. EEE is defined by
IEEE 802.3az. EEE enables both the send and receive sides of the link to disable some
functionality for power savings when the link is lightly loaded.
To configure the Green Ethernet Interface features:
1.
Select
System > Management > Green Ethernet > Green Ethernet Interface
Configuration.
2.
Enable or disable the Auto Power Down Mode.
