Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch 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 Appendix B on page 411 and 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 35. • Command Line Interface. Line commands offer an alternative to the Web Configurator and may be necessary to configure advanced features. See the CLI Reference Guide. • FTP. Use File Transfer Protocol for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore. See Section 42.2 on page 356. • SNMP. The device can be monitored and/or managed by an SNMP manager.
