Chapter 9 Interfaces Each field is described in the following table. Table 64 Configuration > Network > Interface > Ethernet LABEL DESCRIPTION Configuration/IPv6 Configuration Edit Activate Inactivate Object Reference # Status Name IP Address Use the Configuration section for IPv4 network settings. Use the IPv6 Configuration section for IPv6 network settings if you connect your NXC to an IPv6 network. Both sections have similar fields as described below. Double-click an entry or select it and click Edit to open a screen where you can modify the entry's settings. To turn on an interface, select it and click Activate. To turn off an interface, select it and click Inactivate. Select an entry and click Object Reference to open a screen that shows which settings use the entry. This field is a sequential value, and it is not associated with any interface. This icon is lit when the entry is active and dimmed when the entry is inactive. This field displays the name of the interface. This field displays the current IP address of the interface. If the IP address is 0.0.0.0 (in the IPv4 network) or :: (in the IPv6 network), the interface does not have an IP address yet. In the IPv4 network, this screen also shows whether the IP address is a static IP address (STATIC) or dynamically assigned (DHCP). Mask PVID Apply Reset In the IPv6 network, this screen also shows whether the IP address is a static IP address (STATIC), link-local IP address (LINK LOCAL), dynamically assigned (DHCP), or an IPv6 StateLess Address AutoConfiguration IP address (SLAAC). See Appendix E on page 502 for more information about IPv6. This field displays the interface's subnet mask in dot decimal notation. This field indicates the interface's PVID. Click Apply to save your changes back to the NXC. Click Reset to return the screen to its last-saved settings. 9.2.1 Edit Ethernet This screen lets you configure IP address assignment and interface parameters. To access this screen, select an interface and click its Edit icon in the Ethernet screen. Note: If you create IP address objects based on an interface's IP address, subnet, or gateway, the NXC automatically updates every rule or setting that uses the object whenever the interface's IP address settings change. For example, if you change LAN's IP address, the NXC automatically updates the corresponding interface-based, LAN subnet address object. NXC Series User's Guide 149

Each field is described in the following table.
9.2.1
Edit Ethernet
This screen lets you configure IP address assignment and interface parameters. To access this screen,
select an interface and click its
Edit
icon in the
Ethernet
screen.
Note: If you create IP address objects based on an interface’s IP address, subnet, or gateway,
the NXC automatically updates every rule or setting that uses the object whenever the
interface’s IP address settings change. For example, if you change LAN’s IP address, the
NXC automatically updates the corresponding interface-based, LAN subnet address
object.

LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Configuration/IPv6
Configuration
Use the
Configuration
section for IPv4 network settings. Use the
IPv6 Configuration
section for
IPv6 network settings if you connect your NXC to an IPv6 network. Both sections have similar
fields as described below.
Edit
Double-click an entry or select it and click
Edit
to open a screen where you can modify the
entry’s settings.
Activate
To turn on an interface, select it and click
Activate
.
Inactivate
To turn off an interface, select it and click
Inactivate
.
Object Reference
Select an entry and click
Object Reference
to open a screen that shows which settings use
the entry.
#
This field is a sequential value, and it is not associated with any interface.
Status
This icon is lit when the entry is active and dimmed when the entry is inactive.
Name
This field displays the name of the interface.
IP Address
This field displays the current IP address of the interface. If the IP address is 0.0.0.0 (in the IPv4
network) or :: (in the IPv6 network), the interface does not have an IP address yet.
In the IPv4 network, this screen also shows whether the IP address is a static IP address
(
STATIC
) or dynamically assigned (
DHCP
).
In the IPv6 network, this screen also shows whether the IP address is a static IP address
(
STATIC
), link-local IP address (
LINK LOCAL
), dynamically assigned (
DHCP
), or an IPv6
StateLess Address AutoConfiguration IP address (
SLAAC
). See
Appendix E on page 502
for
more information about IPv6.
Mask
This field displays the interface’s subnet mask in dot decimal notation.
PVID
This field indicates the interface’s PVID.
Apply
Click
Apply
to save your changes back to the NXC.
Reset
Click
Reset
to return the screen to its last-saved settings.
