ONFIGURATION
This chapter describes how to configure an IP interface for management
access to the switch over the network. This switch supports both IP Version
4 and Version 6, and can be managed simultaneously through either of
these address types. You can manually configure a specific IPv4 or IPv6
address or direct the switch to obtain an IPv4 address from a BOOTP or
DHCP server when it is powered on. An IPv6 address can either be
manually configured or dynamically generated.
This chapter provides information on network functions including:
Ping – Sends ping message to another node on the network.
◆
Trace Route – Sends ICMP echo request packets to another node on the
◆
network.

ARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed:
Host Name/IP Address – IPv4/IPv6 address or alias of the host.
◆
Probe Count – Number of packets to send. (Range: 1-16)
◆
Packet Size – Number of bytes in a packet. (IPv4: 32-512 bytes,
◆
IPv6: 0-1500 bytes)
The actual packet size will be eight bytes larger than the size specified
because the switch adds header information.
