MAC Address— Specifies the MAC address of the switch.
IPv4 Address— Displays the IPv4 address and subnet mask of
the web interface. The IPv4 management address is assigned to
the switch. The address is specified in the following format:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Each x is a number from 0 to 255. There are four groups of
numbers that are separated by periods.
Note
For IPv4 addresses, the subnet mask is a decimal number that
represents the number of bits, from left to right, that constitute the
network portion of the address. Here are some examples:
— The decimal mask 16 is equivalent to the mask 255.255.0.0.
— The decimal mask 24 is equivalent to the mask 255.255.255.0.
IPv4 Gateway— Displays the IPv4 address of the next hop of the
switch’s default route. The switch uses a default route when it must
communicate with a device that is not on the local IPv4 network.
System Name— Indicates the name of the switch. To configure
this field, see “Setting the Switch Information” on page 41.
System Contact— Indicates the contact person for the switch. To
configure this field, see “Setting the Switch Information” on
page 41.
System Location— Indicates the location of the switch. To
configure this field, see “Setting the Switch Information” on
page 41.
Management VLAN— Displays the management VLAN assigned
to the switch. The default VLAN is “VLAN1.”
IPv6 Address— Displays the IPv6 address and subnet mask of
the web interface. An IPv6 management address for the switch is
entered in the following format:
nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn
Where “n” is a hexadecimal digit from 0 to F. The eight groups of
digits are separated by colons. Groups where all four digits are ‘0’
can be omitted. Leading ‘0’s in groups can also be omitted.
For example, the following IPv6 addresses are equivalent:
12c4:421e:09a8:0000:0000:0000:00a4:1c50
12c4:421e:9a8::a4:1c50
