PARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed:
◆ VLAN – ID of a configured VLAN. By default, all ports on the switch are
members of VLAN 1. However, the management station can be
attached to a port belonging to any VLAN, as long as that VLAN has
been assigned an IP address. (Range: 1-4094)
◆ IPv6 Address Type – The address type (Global, EUI-64, Link Local).
◆ IPv6 Address – An IPv6 address assigned to this interface.
In addition to the unicast addresses assigned to an interface, a node is
also required to listen to the all-nodes multicast addresses FF01::1
(interface-local scope) and FF02::1 (link-local scope).
FF01::1/16 is the transient interface-local multicast address for all
attached IPv6 nodes, and FF02::1/16 is the link-local multicast address
for all attached IPv6 nodes. The interface-local multicast address is
only used for loopback transmission of multicast traffic. Link-local
multicast addresses cover the same types as used by link-local unicast
addresses, including all nodes (FF02::1), all routers (FF02::2), and
solicited nodes (FF02::1:FFXX:XXXX) as described below.
