Chapter 2: System Configuration

2.4.2 IPV6

This section describes how to configure the switch-managed IPv6 information. The Configured column is used to view or change the IPv6 configuration. And the Current column is used to show the active IPv6 configuration.

Configure the switch-managed IPv6 information on this page.

The Configured column is used to view or change the IPv6 configuration.

The Current column is used to show the active IPv6 configuration.

Web Interface

To configure Management IPv6 of the switch in the Web interface:

1.Click System, IPv6 Configuration.

2.Specify the IPv6 settings, and enable Auto Configuration service if required.

3.Click Save.

Figure 2-9. The IPv6 Configuration screen.

Parameter Description

Auto Configuration: Enable IPv6 auto-configuration by checking this box. If fails, the configured IPv6 address is zero. The r outer may delay responding to a router solicitation for a few seconds, the total time needed to complete auto-configuration can be significantly longer.

Address: Provide the IPv6 address of this switch. IPv6 address is represented in 128-bit records as eight fields of up to four hexadecimal digits with a colon separating each field (:). For example, in “fe80::215:c5ff:fe03:4dc7“, the symbol “::“ is a special syntax that can be used as a shorthand way of representing multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous zeros; but it can only appear once. It can also represent a legally valid IPv4 address. For example, “::192.1.2.34“.

Prefix: Provide the IPv6 Prefix of this switch. The range is 1 to 128.

Router: Provide the IPv6 gateway address of this switch. IPv6 address is represented in 128-bit records as eight fields of up to four hexadecimal digits with a colon separating each field (:). For example, in “fe80::215:c5ff:fe03:4dc7“, the symbol “::“ is a special syntax that can be used as a shorthand way of representing multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous zeros; but it can only appear once. It can also represent a legally valid IPv4 address. For example, “::192.1.2.34“.

LPB2848A, LPB2826A, LPB2810A, PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch Eco specifications

The Black Box PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch series, including the models LPB2810A, LPB2826A, and LPB2848A, presents a robust solution for businesses looking to enhance their network efficiency and reliability. Designed to support the growing demand for Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices, these switches provide the perfect backbone for modern network infrastructures.

One of the most significant features of this series is its PoE+ capability, which allows it to deliver power and data over a single Ethernet cable. This functionality simplifies cabling and installation, making it easier to deploy PoE devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. The LPB2810A offers 8 PoE+ ports, the LPB2826A ups the ante with 24 ports, and the LPB2848A provides a whopping 48 ports, each capable of delivering up to 30 watts of power per port.

The managed switch system ensures that users can customize and optimize their network performance. With advanced features such as VLAN support, Quality of Service (QoS), and link aggregation, organizations can effectively manage traffic, prioritize critical applications, and potentially enhance overall network security. Furthermore, these switches support Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionalities, which allows for greater flexibility when implementing routing policies.

Another critical aspect of the LPB series is its built-in security features. The switches come equipped with advanced security protocols, including IEEE 802.1X port-based access control, which enables network administrators to authenticate devices before granting access to the network. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and ensures data integrity across the connected devices.

The Black Box PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switches are designed with reliability and ease of use in mind. Their fanless design promotes silent operation, making them ideal for deployment in both office environments and data centers. Additionally, the switches offer a user-friendly web-based interface and CLI options for straightforward management and configuration, catering to both novice and seasoned network administrators.

In conclusion, the Black Box PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch series, featuring models LPB2810A, LPB2826A, and LPB2848A, stands out with its power-efficient design, extensive port options, and advanced security measures. These switches are an excellent choice for organizations that require a dependable and scalable networking solution to support their growing Ethernet and PoE device needs.
