Client/Server IP
You can configure connections between the client or switches and the Management application
server.
Configuring the server IP address
If your Operating System is IPv6-enabled (dual mode or IPv6 only), the server binds using an IPv6
address. If your Operating System is IPv4-enabled, the server binds using an IPv4 address. Servers
running in dual mode allow the client to communicate from both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses.
NOTE
If the Management server or client has multiple Network Interface Cards and if any of these
interfaces are not plugged in, you must disable them; otherwise, the following features do not work
properly:
