Setting An Ipv6 Address - AMX NXA-ENET8-2POE Operation/Reference Manual

IP Configuration parameters (Cont.)
IP DNS Proxy Configuration
DNS Proxy
An IPv4 address for this switch is obtained via DHCP by default. If the switch does
not receive a response from a DHCP server, it will default to the IP address
192.168.2.10 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
You can manually configure a specific IP address, or direct the device to obtain an address from a DHCP
server.
Valid IPv4 addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything other than this
format will not be accepted by the CLI program.
1.
Click Configuration, System, IP.
2.
Specify the IPv4 settings, and enable DNS proxy service if required.
3.
Click Save.

Setting an IPV6 Address

Use the IPv6 Configuration page to configure an IPv6 address for management access to the switch. IPv6
includes two distinct address types - link-local unicast and global unicast.

If enabled, the switch maintains a local database based on previous
responses to DNS queries forwarded on behalf of attached clients. If the
required information is not in the local database, the switch forwards the
DNS query to a DNS server, stores the response in its local cache for
future reference, and passes the response back to the client.
enables IPv6 functionality on the interface. The network portion of the address is
based on prefixes received in IPv6 router advertisement messages, and the host
portion is automatically generated using the modified EUI-64 form of the interface
identifier; i.e., the switch's MAC address. (Default: Disabled)
Manually configures a global unicast address by specifying the full address and
network prefix length (in the Prefix field). (Default:192.168.2.10)
Defines the prefix length as a decimal value indicating how many contiguous bits
(starting at the left) of the address comprise the prefix; i.e., the network portion of
the address. (Default: 96 bits)
Note that the default prefix length of 96 bits specifies that the first six colon-sepa-
rated values comprise the network portion of the address.
Sets the IPv6 address of the default next hop router.
An IPv6 default gateway must be defined if the management station is located in a
different IPv6 segment.
An IPv6 default gateway can only be successfully set when a network interface
that directly connects to the gateway has been configured on the switch.
