Ipv6 Support; Ways To Manage The Switch; Good Habits For Managing The Switch - ZyXEL Communications XS3800-28 User Manual

1.2.4 IPv6 Suppo rt
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 10
of writing, the Switch supports the following features.
• Static address assignment
• Neighbor Discovery Protocol (a protocol used to discover other IPv6 devices in a network)
• Remote Management using ping SNMP, SSH, 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

1.3 Wa ys to Ma na g e the Switc h
Use any of the following methods to manage the Switch.
• NCC (Zyxel Nebula Control Center). With the NCC, you can remotely manage and monitor the
Switch through a cloud-based network management system. See
NCC User's Guide for detailed information about how to access the NCC and manage your Switch
via the NCC. See the NCC User's Guide for how to configure Nebula managed devices.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the Switch using a (supported)
web browser. See
• 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 File Transfer Protocol for firmware upgrades and configuration backup or restore. See
58.9.1 on page
• SNMP. The Switch can be monitored and/or managed by an SNMP manager. See
page 552.
• Cluster Management. Cluster Management allows you to manage multiple switches through one
switch, called the cluster manager. See
• ZON Utility. ZON Utility is a program designed to help you deploy and perform initial setup on a
network more efficiently. See
1.4 G o o d Ha b its fo r Ma na g ing the Switc h
Do the following things regularly to make the Switch more secure and to manage the Switch more
effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that is not easy to guess and that consists of different types of
characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
